❓ FAQ
Q: How do I set a wallpaper?
A: Click any wallpaper card to instantly set it as your desktop. On macOS, it applies to all monitors automatically.
Q: Does the app keep running after closing the window?
A: Yes, closing the window minimizes it to the system tray. Click the tray icon to reopen, right-click to quit.
Q: Where are my wallpapers saved?
A: By default in a "Bing Wallpaper Now" folder under your system pictures directory. You can change this in settings.
Q: How much storage does it use?
A: Each UHD wallpaper is roughly 1–3MB. Keeping 8 uses about 8–24MB. The app auto-cleans older cache.
Q: Can I use it offline?
A: Yes, previously downloaded wallpapers can be set anytime without internet.
Q: Why does a "market mismatch" warning appear?
A: Bing may ignore your selected market in some regions and return
wallpapers from another. The app adapts automatically — no action needed.
