## Beengpaper

Beengpaper (pronounced *bingpaper*) is a small macOS menu bar

application that downloads the daily wallpaper from Bing and sets it on

all of your desktops.



> Second (and i hope a little less ugly) version of Beengpaper icon

### Requirements

Beengpaper requires macOS El Captain (10.11) or later.

### Installation 

Download the application here, open `.dmg` file and drag and drop the

app into Applications folder.

### Building the app yourself

Beengpaper is written in Python (Python 3.7), using rumps and appscript

libraries. Additionally you need py2app to build the application package

and create-dmg (awesome little tool for creating dmg files you can find

[here](https://github.com/sindresorhus/create-dmg)).

```

git clone

cd beengpaper

python setup.py py2app

```

### FAQ

**Q. But why?**

A. Because I got bored one sunday morning, and I like Bing wallpapers.

**Q. Names in the menu change but application does not change my

wallpaper**

A. This may be caused by one of three things:

- You did not allow application access to System Events when it first

  asked (you can change it under Preferences > Security)

- Your current wallpaper setting is "Change wallpaper every ..." in

  macOS preferences. Set wallpaper to static image to allow Beengpaper

  to work

- Application broke because something changed in Bing stream. If you

  think your problem is not related to two above, pleas open an issue on

  GitHub.

 

**Q. I like current wallpaper, can I keep it?**

A. Of course! If you like wallpaper, just tick "Keep Wallpaper" option

in menu.

**Q. I like like a lot of wallpapers, can you make Beengpaper change

them?**

A. Not directly - you can however use "Save Wallpaper" option to save

current wallpaper to a folder, and "Open saved wallpapers folder" to

navigate to it and use wallpapers however you want. Please keep in maind

that if you don't enable "Keep wallpaper" option while using "Change

wallpaper every ..." preference, Beengpaper will interfere and may force

macOS to change wallpaper randomly.

**Q. How often Beengpaper checks for new wallpapers?**

A. Every hour. This should be more than enough, since wallpapers change

daily...

 

**Q. How can I make Beengpaper launch on startup?**

A. Unfortunately, Beengpaper cannot set itself as a launch program. You

can however easily make it launch on login using macOS Preferences pane.

Navigate to Preferences > Users and Groups > Login and add Beengpaper.
