A simple app that sets your wallpaper to the NASA APOD (Astronomy Photo Of The Day) every day. Made this since I'm stuck on Windows right now while my Mac is in for repair. As you might expect, Windows only.

NGL it took longer than expected to get the build working perfectly

I finally got the notifications to work. I had to rewrite the logic for opening the notification windows, but now they work perfectly :D.

I made a clean up feature so you can save storage by not having to store all of the files you've ever used as a wallpaper. DW I'm working on the success popup i swear

Implemented the settings menu. I still need to fix that success window bug LOL

  • Added system tray icon
  • Options: Settings (To Be Implemented), About, Update Wallpaper, Toggle Auto-Update, Quit
  • Added an app icon

I did a few things. For one, I made the program set the wallpaper. Another thing I did was check if the APOD is a video. If it is, the program will ask you if you want to use the previous day's APOD instead. I also added a check to see if the OS is Windows before proceeding with ANY of the code.

Things I added/fixed:

  • Prompt user for API Key

  • Fetch APOD from the API

  • Handle all of the exceptions

Things I need to add/fix:

  • Check if the OS is Windows before continuing

  • Set the Wallpaper

  • If the APOD is a video, ask the user if they want to use the previous day's
    APOD as their wallpaper instead.
