It is possible that a new list (with a different name) is now used. If that is >the case and it does not require major changes, we should look at adding the new list as well when fixing bug 2093. Unfortunately, I believe the new feed is in a different format, per http://kde-look.org/help/api.php I get the impression from that page that the old one is still supposed to be maintained, though, so we could try contacting them to ask what's going on. > > BTW: is there a way to show all available wallpapers? > I guess that that may require some additional software.

The download could actually require sometime, so we should make it optional >(perhaps an additinal button somewhere). I believe the lists used are: http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/wallpaper/wallpaper.xml http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/wallpaper/wallpaper-score.xml http://download.kde.org/khotnewstuff/wallpaper/wallpaper-downloads.xml They each seem to contain 10-20 wallpapers' worth of details, no more. That being said, they're XML feeds, and we could create an additional one of our own by scraping their pages and RSS, then add it as a new selection in the leftmost box in the screenshot. The scraping part is finicky but not difficult, provided they don't change the RSS entry format. E. Liddell
