Hi @SunsetTechuila

I use BingSnap, a software similar to Bing Wallpaper, but better. CCS says in the readme that it can sync the accent color automatically with Bing Wallpaper, but it also works with BingSnap, I think it should also be on the list.

I have a problem that sometimes occurs using CCS with Bing Wallpaper and BingSnap, and the problem is the one mentioned in the title of the issue. To be clear, after logging into my PC I have the previous day's Bing day image (when CCS starts with the system it stays with the previous day's accent color), and I have to wait for the Bing Wallpaper or BingSnap icon to appear in the system tray indicating that it is running, and when the icon appears in the system tray I just wait a few seconds for the new Bing day image to appear on the desktop.

When the new image of the day is already as background on my desktop, sometimes the accent color of the animated cursor takes a long time to change, or it doesn't change at all and still has the accent color of the previous day's Bing image. You can see in the screenshot that the animated cursor still has yesterday's accent color, but the accent color for today's Bing image is blue.

I couldn't take a screenshot of the cursor with the full load circle, but the yellow dot you see on the right side of the cursor is the accent color that the cursor had yesterday. This is the Bing image from yesterday

I hope you can find a solution. Thanks in advance.

Edit: I have restarted my PC several times but the yellow loading circle does not change to the accent color, I hope CCS with Bing's picture of the day for tomorrow will work.

Edit 2: Today, May 25, the accent color of the cursor changes to a brown color according to Bing's image of the day for today. Today CCS does work.

Yes, I was just running it with the last 6 images from Bing and it works very well (the last six images without restarting the PC, just changing from the app). The accent color change is almost immediate. Now I will check it again tomorrow when the new Bing image appears on my desktop, but so far it seems to be working fine.

Edit: The problem also seems to affect the dev version of your command. Today May 28th the accent color did not change, the accent color from Bing's Image of the Day for today it is also blue, but it did not change for the cursor, as you can see on the screenshot below

i see you manually selected the color. if the cursor accent remains the same even after that, there must be something wrong with your ccs installation
try running the uninstaller and then the install command i sent earlier

Oh, that? Actually, although the screenshot shows that the color is manually selected, it is not. The color changes automatically thanks to AeroBlend, an app from the same BingSnap developer that I already mentioned before, and for AeroBlend to work properly, the accent color must be set to Manual as indicated after being installed, but it actually changes the accent color automatically when the desktop image changes.

I already did it and it's working fine, but sometimes the color doesn't change even after restart the PC and I have to wait for the next day so that the new Bing image of the day has a new accent color. Apparently I have to reinstall CCS every time that happens? 🙁
