I can get this to work and I love it. The only big problem I am having is that it keeps erasing the old pictures. I have selected to keep 2500 items in archive but it is not doing it. It seems to clear it every day. I have followed every direction posted here with no deviations but to no avail. Any help out there for this situation?

Figured out a way to make a theme with desktop images supplied by RSS without mucking around in the .theme files, similar to what Marco was trying to do above.

First subscribe to the feed in IExplorer, making sure to check “Automatically download attached files” in the Settings dialog. You want to navigate to the folder where the files are stored. I find the easiest way is the re-open the Settings dialog since “View files” is grayed out the first time. Then, as Marco described, go to “Choose your desktop background” screen and click “Browse” to select your folder, then paste the directory where the images are stored (rather than the feed itself). Make sure to click Select All and voila.

Hey, guys,
Here’s a quick and dirty “feed” of the astronomy image of the day – http://slkandy.com/rss/astronomy.php.
Windows 7 should be able to pull from it.

[...] Het beste nieuws laten we natuurlijk weer voor het laatst. Je hebt vast al gehoord dat Windows 7 behoorlijk leunt op het web. Zo zijn Windows Mail en Windows Messenger beide Windows Live Mail en Windows Live Messenger geworden. De koppeling met het web is ook duidelijk in de functionaliteit rondom roterende bureaublad achtergronden: Je kunt RSS feeds met afbeeldingen gebruiken, zoals bijvoorbeeld van Flickr. Long Zheng legt uit hoe. [...]

Jedną z ciekawostek związanych z pulpitem jest możliwość okresowej zmiany tapety (zaraz zostanę zakrzyczany, że to już było, że są do tego programy). Co[…..
