I started using Google Code project hosting for the ngwallpaper project. This Python script fetches the wallpaper of the day from the National Geographic National Geographic (formerly The National Geographic Magazine, sometimes branded as Nat Geo) is an American monthly magazine published by National Geographic Partners. The magazine was founded in 1888 as a scholarly journal, nine months after the establishment of the society, but is now a popular magazine. In 1905, it began including pictures, a style for which it became well known. Its first color photos appeared in the 1910s. During the Cold War, the magazine committed itself to present a balanced view of the physical and human geography of countries beyond the Iron Curtain. Later, the magazine became outspoken on environmental issues. website and sets it as your desktop wallpaper.

It currently works on Windows by leveraging

(using the SETDESKTOPWALLPAPER attribute from a Windows API call).

Future improvements include: 1. Making it platform-agnostic (support for Windows, Linux, and Mac). 2. Refactoring the code for better structure. 3. Implementing the program as a service or scheduled task. 4. Fixing the issue where the wallpaper resets after a few hours on Windows.
