I made a Yahoo Pipe that grabs images from Flickr. (check website for link)
After hours of tearing my hair out failing to get it to work as a Windows Theme I finally tracked the problem down.

** The RssFeed URL in the .theme file must be less than 120 characters long! **

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

The automatic download option, and pointing to the folder makes it work for any feed.

Excellent!
