Luckily Windows 7 comes with a wallpaper customization feature that automates this task for us.
We can choose any of the available themes or create our own personalized theme.
Try selecting a theme, like the ‘Characters’ theme for example.
Windows 7 will save these customize themes as ‘Unsaved Themes’ under My Themes.
In this example we save our customize theme as ‘Geek Tester Theme’.
The theme file itself is a plain text file containing all the information about the theme.
The last section of the theme file contains three attributes, interval, shuffle, and RSS feed address.
The interval determines how fast Windows rotate the wallpaper images.
The lower the interval is the faster Windows rotate your images.
You may risk the theme crashing your system if you make it too fast.
The RSS attribute tells Windows to grab the images from a specific RSS and use it as your wallpaper.
We find that his software provides better support for Media bang out RSS compared to Windows 7.
The software runs as a background job that sits on your system tray.
Our Yahoo Pipe is able to take different Gnome URLs and extract the images into an RSS feed.
I find some of the best wallpaper from the Highest Rated category in Gnome Look.
