This is a software tool that allows photos available on Flickr to be used as wallpapers.

Flickr plugin for Wallpaper Slideshow Pro allows you to display Flickr photos as desktop wallpaper. This plugin sources the images displayed on the wallpaper slideshow created by the Slideshow Pro product. This product is from the developer of this plugin. The slideshow software has transition effects and Pan and Zoom animations, the Ken Burns effect. It enables you to create your personal photo slide shows that can be played as screen saver or shared as standalone .exe slide show. Configuring the slide show is easy. You then need to point the show to folders containing photos to be used for the slideshow. These folders can be local or a folder on the network. There is no limit to the number of photos or video in the directories. This plugin is able to download photos from the photo show site like the Flickr.

These acquisitions could be from public and private photstreams of users on the site. Photos can be obtained from groups and sets of users also. Several settings will let you optimize the images for your show. These include if you want resizing to fit your screen, centered on the screen, tiled or spanned across more than one monitor. To obtain photos from someone else’s account, you need his permission of course, no restrictions on your own account. Photo related information obtained from the EXIF, IPTC or XMP fields can be overlaid on the photos so that you know exactly how the photos were taken. A calendar also can be used for the overlay.
