Is there any way to modify the current active theme and change only [Slideshow] section?

UPD: Particularly I'm interested to change RssFeed value of currect theme.

Yes.

  1. Right click on the Desktop and select Personalize

  2. Select your theme and it will apply

  3. Click on the Desktop Background option at the bottom

  4. Make the changes as required and click Save Changes

The theme will now be marked as Unsaved theme and will retain all the selected theme's settings apart from that which you changed.

You can save this as a new theme if you wish

EDIT: Further answer following comments discussion

To add an RSS feed you will have to manually edit the .theme file

Customise your theme with everything else you want apart from the RSS

Save the theme

It will be located in C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Themes

Open the .theme file in a text editor and update/add a [Slideshow] section as follows:

[Slideshow]
Interval=1800000
Shuffle=1
RssFeed=http://YourFeedURLHere

Save the changes then double-click on the .theme file to reload it into the Personalize settings.

Click on the Download Attachments button when prompted
