The Bing wallpaper is downloaded in full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels).
Once per hour, the Bing server is queried for the most current wallpaper, stores it in the folder where the exe-file is stored, and sets it as your desktop background.
Extract BingWallpaper.exe to a folder of your choice
(preferably outside of \Program Files),
and add a shortcut to your Startup folder.
By default, BingWallpaper will keep running in the background,
and check the Bing server once per hour for a new wallpaper.
If you prefer to check just once and then quit, append the --quit parameter.
This makes BingWallpaper suitable for adding a shortcut to the startup, for example.
Once you start the BingWallpaper app, the Bing server is queried for the most current wallpaper, stores it in the Pictures folder, and sets it as your desktop background.
Double-click BingWallpaper to update your wallpaper.
The script does not stay active on OS X, so you don’t have to see the odd cog icon in your menu bar. If you want to keep your wallpaper fresh, create a Calendar event that calls the app on a regular basis.
You may also want to add the BingWallpaper app to your Login items in System Preferences.
