FYI the site was blocked by my antivirus.

"Fetches and applies the image of the day from Bing as the wallpaper. Works only on Ubuntu."

The link to the github project is :

The Github link was blocked?

Any chances of having this be available on Windows?

nabeelomer5• 9 years ago

Sure, we can work on that.

Awesome. Thanks!

Add a topic tag for Windows, when you have it available/working on Windows.

This doesn't actually get the bing wallpaper. It goes through a proxy/cdn:

http://cdn.muzzammil.xyz/bing/bing.php?format=text&cc=IN

Which is fine if you trust that. But better might have been accessing the API endpoint directly (http://www.bing.com/HPImageArchive.aspx?format=js&idx=0&n=1&...)

The CDN is run by a friend, so its alright.

Yeah, it's your friend. Not ours tho. Why not go directly to Bing API?

Thank you Nabeel for using the API. :)
