Offtopic I really liked the auto-refreshing "Windows Spotlight" wallpaper on logon screen. I even wrote a script to sync it as my desktop wallpaper.
But on my Win10 it stopped working idk why, so I wrote a script to download Bing Image of the Day instead: https://blog.est.im/2025/stdout-03 https://blog.est.im/2025/stdout-03
- xnx 1y agoThere's an official Bing Wallpaper App (https://www.bing.com/apps/wallpaper https://www.bing.com/apps/wallpaper) for this, but it has all kinds of nuisances / dark patterns to switch your default browser to Edge and other nefarious things.

- adithyassekhar 1y ago11 can set spotlight as the desktop wallpaper.
- JBiserkov 1y agobut is not supported on millions of otherwise working systems.
- Kholin 1y agoOn KDE Plasma, that's a built in feature.
