feed-wallpaper v0.7.0

feedWallpaper.js

Little node.js utility / npm package to scrape an image from a photo blog (or whatever RSS feed) and set it as a desktop wallpaper. The script looks for the newest entry in an RSS feed, get's the first linked image and fetches the (hopefully) full size image behind the link.

I use this to change my desktop wallpaper to the newest photo from the great Thoschmi Photos blog (http://thoschmiphotos.blogspot.com/) on a daily basis.

Should work on Windows, Linux and MacOS.
