RSS Powered Windows 7 desktop wallpaper background
4997 views, 4 reactions and 0 comments

A great new feature in Windows 7 is the dynamic slideshow desktop background. Windows 7 automatically changes your computer's background to show selected images every few minutes from your hard drive. That's great and all, but eventually your image stock pile will run out and the same wallpaper will reappear.

That's where RSS powered feeds come in. Find a great quality image RSS feed and you can have fresh, new images delivered to your desktop daily, without you doing anything. (Don't know how to setup your rss desktop feed? Check out this link to get started: http://www.istartedsomething.com/20090126/rss-powered-windows-7-desktop-slideshows/ )

Finding a wallpaper feed that fits your style, updates often, and has high quality images can be a difficult task. This wall lists the best RSS image feeds out there! Please submit your own if you know of one.

Like urban art? Put this graffiti art feed onto your desktop. The gallery isn't curated extensively, so some art isn't great, but there are lots of gems in here.

"This is only for geeky designer wallpapers made by designers for designers about design". If you need some inspiration, these design oriented wallpapers will do the job. Unfortunately, new posts aren't submitted regularly so you might be stuck looking at the same wallpapers for a couple of days.

(Cream of the Crop Flickr feed)

Flickr.com is an online photo management and sharing website which means it's a great place to find the wallpaper that fits you exactly. Searching for Flickr feeds of users or groups that have similar interests will provide you with an unlimited variety of pictures to see every day that match your particular tastes.

Image sizes vary from image to image though and not all users or groups post new images daily. So if you know of a great Flickr feed, feel free to add it to this post.

I don't use Bing for search, but I visit this site often just to look at their stunning pictures. Their images update daily, are of great quality and feature a variety of compositions. From photographs of different cultures throughout the world to amazing architecture, Bing covers it all. You'll always be surprised everyday.
