Question regarding Picture of the Day Wallpaper: why can't I get wikipedia commons as a source?
I really like using the Picture of Day widget/thing in Plasma; it gives you small jolt of joy every morning to see what image you have today. And it keeps the desktop feeling fresh.
Sometimes there are duds, but by and large, I really like their selection.
However, I have an issue with the providers. There are two scientific options, that I don't want. I have found Bing to be the best provider, but that's MS.
There is also Wikipedia Commons as an option and in FF new tabs, they show an image from Wikipedia Commons...and I like that option and would prefer that over Bing.
But when I choose WC as a source, I see nothing. There is no image. It's as if I can't pull the image if I'm using the Plasma widget to do so.
ANyone have any idea?

@somereaduser My Wiki Common is working. Have you tried Flickr? I think it's better than Bing and Wikipedia Common.
So the current Flickr image I see...it looks to be the wrong resolution. It's a 4:3 image that gets stretched out on the desktop and the result isn't good.
The iamges on Flickr whenever I've looked at it as a source, are always disappointing.
