New Pictures Added to Windows 7 Bing RSS Theme

Microsoft introduced RSS themes to Windows 7 a while back with the Bing RSS Theme, which brings the stunning photography that graces the Bing homepage right to your computer with an ever-updating supply of new pictures.  With the power of RSS (real simple syndication) the theme updates in the background without the user having to do anything.

This week Microsoft has added six new pictures to the Bing RSS Theme.  This latest addition includes basslet fish & lettuce coral, Martinique, Marrakech, a Polar Bear in the  Beaufort Sea, Reine, Lofoten Islands,  and St Bathan’s in Central Otago.  The photos are all up to the usual high standards we have come to expect from the Bing background image of the day.

The theme, according to Microsoft will send “you two new photos from Bing every week, updated automatically through an RSS feed.”  This week, however, the team was apparently feeling generous.  You can get the theme from the Windows 7 Personalization Gallery and view the six new photos in this  blog post from Microsoft’s Rob Margel.
