@E. Wormuth: From the “Save as type:” drop-down, choose “All Files (*.*)”.

I see what the problem is — I should save the file as Bing.theme, rather than Bing.theme.txt. But in Windows 7, I can’t see an option to save without the .txt — can you advise how to do that?

What am I doing wrong? When I double-click on the notepad file saved on my desktop, the notepad document just comes up. I must be missing a step somewhere.

Hi - great article! However I couldn't get the Flickr wallpaper feeds to work - wasn't getting enclosured jpgs. So I changed &format=rss_200 to &format=atom in the URLs. Works fine now! Thanks again! * Flickr Wallpapers 1024Ã—768 * Flickr Wallpapers 1200Ã—800 * Flickr Wallpapers 1680Ã—1050

I would love to have this in high resolution (I’m running 1920×1080). MS released a Best of Bing theme, which came with the high-res images. Anyone have an idea where to get the daily image in high-res?

Any chance you can get country specific rss feeds made? The RSS feed that is currently being used is great but pulls all of the Bing pictures from all of its counties (US. UK, AUS, JPN ex…) Looking back in the archives the same picture is used on the same or differnt days in each country, so when I first subscribed to the feed I got 10 photos only 4 of then were unique. By clicking the individual countries flag on http://www.istartedsomething.com/bingimages/ you get only that countries photos. Is there anyway we can get an rss feed of that made?

Try Bing Wallpaper Downloader: http://www.bing-wallpaper.com/download.html

It will do everything automatically for you: download all the wallpapers (including old ones) and set them as your desktop wallpaper.

Too bad their isn’t an rss feed for this feed…
Long Zheng’s Bing feed just gives me feed normalization error!

Cap: You guessed right. Unless Long changes the feed settings, there is no way you can go further back. Once you’ve subscribed to it however, you will get all the images from that point onwards.

We need to be grateful to Long for providing this for free!
