A brand new app called Background Switcher. Rather than picking a single photo, with Background Switcher you can subscribe to any RSS feed that contains pictures. Setup a schedule and Background Switcher will run in the background downloading images and setting them as your homepage wallpaper. We’ve supplied a number of predefined feeds from well known image sites to let you explore some of the best image feeds on the web. However you can also create your own feed subscriptions from any RSS 2.0 compliant feed.
