Question 1

How to run BingPaper on macOS without disabling Gatekeeper?

Accepted Answer

Currently, you must disable Gatekeeper as the app isn't signed; follow macOS security settings to allow apps from unidentified developers, but this compromises security.

Question 2

Can BingPaper use images from Unsplash or other sources?

Accepted Answer

No, BingPaper is designed specifically for Bing's daily photos and doesn't support other sources without modifying the open-source code, which requires technical expertise.

Question 3

BingPaper vs manual wallpaper change: which is better?

Accepted Answer

BingPaper automates the process for daily freshness from Bing, ideal for hands-off users, but manual changes offer more variety and control over sources.

Question 4

How to change the update frequency in BingPaper?

Accepted Answer

The app updates daily based on Bing's schedule; the README doesn't mention configurable frequencies, so it's fixed unless you modify the source code.

Question 5

Is BingPaper safe to download and use?

Accepted Answer

As open-source, the code is transparent, but the unsigned binary requires disabling security features, so users should assess risks and consider building from source.

Question 6

Does BingPaper support multiple monitors on macOS?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't specify; macOS typically handles wallpapers per display, but users might need to test if the app extends to all screens or check community feedback.
