Did you know that it is possible to subscribe to RSS desktop wallpaper themes in Windows 7? This basically offers an option to the Windows 7 user for changing the Windows 7 wallpaper frequently without having to pick or rotate through a series of photos and pictures that are already located on the computer’s hard drives. It means free new photos whenever the RSS feed gets updated with new photos.
Stephen Edgar posted RSS desktop wallpaper themes on his website that are taken from AFP photos. Eight different RSS wallpaper themes are currently offered at his website with the promise to add more in the future. The RSS wallpapers for Windows 7 come in the .theme format that is supported by the operating system. To use them a Windows 7 user needs to download one or all of the themes offered on the website. Once downloaded they can simply be double-clicked to be added to the operating system.
The operating system will show a prompt at first startup asking the user if the wallpapers should be downloaded locally. If not they will be used until the next wallpaper image becomes available. Downloading the images has the advantage that they can be reused at a later time.
The following RSS wallpaper themes are currently available for download:
- AFP photos — “Basketball” – Windows 7 ‘Basketball’ Theme
- AFP photos — “Fashion” – Windows 7 ‘Fashion’ Theme
- AFP photos — “Football (Soccer)” – Windows 7 ‘Football (Soccer) Theme
- AFP photos — “Italy” – Windows 7 ‘Italy’ Theme
