WhatSprintIsItWallpaper nikolapeja6

azure-devops desktop productivity sprint wallpaper

Use this command to install WhatSprintIsItWallpaper:

winget install --id=nikolapeja6.WhatSprintIsItWallpaper -e

WhatSprintIsItWallpaper sets your Windows desktop wallpaper to a clean, dark image showing the current sprint and week (for example "278.1"), using the same offline date formula as whatsprintis.it. After a one-time install it keeps itself up to date automatically via a Windows Scheduled Task that runs at logon and once daily, so the number rolls over on its own every Saturday. No login, network, or Azure DevOps account required.

WhatSprintIsItWallpaper

Sets your Windows desktop wallpaper to the current sprint — a clean, dark image with big centered text like 278.1 (sprint . week), inspired by whatsprintis.it.

After a one-time install it keeps itself up to date automatically: a Windows Scheduled Task runs at logon and once daily, so the number rolls over on its own every Saturday. No login, no network, and no Azure DevOps account required — the sprint is computed with a fixed date formula.

> AI-generated Windows utility that sets your desktop background to the current Azure DevOps sprint and automatically updates it.

How updates happen (automatic)

Installing registers a Scheduled Task named WhatSprintIsItWallpaper that runs WhatSprintIsItWallpaper.exe run:

Immediately at install — the wallpaper is set the moment installation finishes.
At every logon / sign-in — always correct after a reboot.
Once daily (~00:05) with start-when-available — catches the Saturday rollover even on machines that were off or stayed logged in for weeks.

Each run is cheap and idempotent: it computes the sprint, compares it to a cached value, and only re-renders and re-applies the wallpaper when the week/sprint actually changed.

Install

Via winget (once the package is published to the community repo):

winget install nikolapeja6.WhatSprintIsItWallpaper

Or download the latest WhatSprintIsItWallpaper-.msi from the Releases page and run it. The installer is per-user and needs no administrator rights.

Usage

The app is normally driven by the scheduled task, but you can run it manually:

Command	What it does
`WhatSprintIsItWallpaper run`	(default) Compute the sprint and set the wallpaper if it changed.
`WhatSprintIsItWallpaper install`	Register the scheduled task (logon + daily) and apply the wallpaper now.
`WhatSprintIsItWallpaper uninstall`	Remove the scheduled task.
`WhatSprintIsItWallpaper preview`	Render the current image to a temp file and open it, without changing the wallpaper.
`WhatSprintIsItWallpaper help`	Show help.

Configuration

A JSON config is created on first run at %APPDATA%\WhatSprintIsItWallpaper\config.json:

{
  "BackgroundColor": "#1E1E1E",   // dark grey background
  "ForegroundColor": "#D4D4D4",   // text color
  "FontFamily": "Segoe UI",
  "FontBold": false,
  "ShowCaption": true,            // small "sprint N · week W" under the big number
  "EpochUtc": "2010-07-24",       // sprint anchor (UTC date)
  "WeeksPerSprint": 3,
  "Width": null,                  // null = use the primary monitor width
  "Height": null,                 // null = use the primary monitor height
  "WallpaperPosition": "Fit"      // Fit, Fill, Center, Stretch, Span, or Tile
}

Edit it and run WhatSprintIsItWallpaper run to apply. Logs are written to %LOCALAPPDATA%\WhatSprintIsItWallpaper\log.txt.

Build from source

Requires the .NET 8 SDK (a global.json pins the build to 8.0).

dotnet build WhatSprintIsItWallpaper.sln -c Release      # build
dotnet test  WhatSprintIsItWallpaper.sln -c Release      # run unit tests

# Produce the self-contained single-file exe (no .NET runtime needed to run it):
dotnet publish src/WhatSprintIsItWallpaper/WhatSprintIsItWallpaper.csproj -c Release -r win-x64 `
  -p:SelfContained=true -p:PublishSingleFile=true `
  -p:IncludeNativeLibrariesForSelfExtract=true -p:EnableCompressionInSingleFile=true `
  -o publish/win-x64

Build the installer (MSI) locally. It uses the WiX Toolset v5 via the WixToolset.Sdk MSBuild SDK, so no extra tooling beyond the .NET SDK is required — WiX is restored as a NuGet package. First publish the exe (above), then:

dotnet build installer/WhatSprintIsItWallpaper.wixproj -c Release `
  -p:ProductVersion=1.0.0 -p:PublishDir=..\publish\win-x64
# -&gt; installer/bin/Release/WhatSprintIsItWallpaper-1.0.0.msi

Releasing & publishing to winget

Tag a version: git tag v1.0.0 && git push origin v1.0.0.
The Release workflow tests, publishes the exe, builds the WiX MSI, computes its SHA256 and ProductCode, and attaches the .msi to a GitHub Release.
Update the manifests in winget/ with the new version, InstallerUrl, InstallerSha256, and ProductCode (all printed in the workflow summary), then validate:
```
winget validate --manifest winget
```
Open a PR to microsoft/winget-pkgs (or use wingetcreate update nikolapeja6.WhatSprintIsItWallpaper -v -u ...).

Uninstall

winget uninstall nikolapeja6.WhatSprintIsItWallpaper, or via Settings → Apps. Uninstalling removes the scheduled task; your wallpaper is left as-is.

How it works (internals)

File	Responsibility
`SprintCalculator.cs`	The offline sprint/week formula.
`WallpaperImageRenderer.cs`	Renders the dark PNG with big auto-fit centered text (System.Drawing).
`WallpaperSetter.cs`	Applies the wallpaper via `IDesktopWallpaper` COM (fallback: `SystemParametersInfo`).
`TaskSchedulerManager.cs`	Registers/removes the scheduled task (logon + daily).
`AppConfig.cs` / `AppState.cs`	JSON config and the idempotent "last applied" cache.
`Program.cs`	CLI dispatch (`run`/`install`/`uninstall`/`preview`).
