How binghomepage/bingwallpaper.windows works
Bing Wallpaper is a Windows desktop app that fetches Bing’s image of the day, previews it, and applies it as the desktop wallpaper. The main workflow is to choose a country and fit, then apply once or create a recurring scheduled update; users can also refresh the preview or remove the task. Settings and logs are stored locally. The excerpts show the UI, settings, and wallpaper/task actions, but not the homepage-fetch implementation; its wiring is included only where directly called.
