setBingWP.sh is a bash shell script that's meant to be run when you login to your Linux, Windows or Mac desktop. It checks your internet connection, downloads the image of the day from bing.com, optionally includes the image's description into the picture and sets it as wallpaper for your desktop environment. Like this you have a different, beautiful desktop background every day.

Script which downloads current and future POTD from Wikimedia Commons, adds a summary caption to the bottom, and sets as desktop background image for gnome. Can also be setup on a server to download images any desired time of the day then mirror them for faster retrival from personal devices on the LAN. Has been tested on Ubuntu. Could be used on a RaspberryPi powered digital picture frame. Need to impliment auto cleanup for old images. Please leave feedback & suggestions for improvement!

...The output looks like there are some widgets/desklets/gadgets on the wallpaper, but uses less memory and computation power, making it OK for laptop use. Additionally the script can work also as a wallpaper slideshow (i.e. taking a background image - usually a picture - randomly from a folder or supplied from the command line). The picture image can be stretched to full-screen or re-sized and re-positioned on the wallpaper next to XPlanet renderings. The script is written in Bash (Bourne-again shell), and requires XPlanet, ImageMagick and optionally POM (PhaseOfTheMoon). It should work on all platforms with bash installed and possibly on Cygwin.

Periodically executes an external command to get the file name of the next wallpaper to display. Works just like a slideshow
