Is it possible to use HTML wallpapers? It's mainly how widgets are done on jailbroken iPhones. It's not really needed with android, but, it would be pretty cool to have animated wallpapers. Like, flashing xmas lights around the screen, rotating wallpapers or whatever else one could come up with.
how cute!
no i dont think so. nexus one has some sort of animated wallpapers, wait till thats ported. cute tho.

So, the Hero widgets rock, but we cant port them. So I was wondering if anyone wanted to attempt to remake the weather/twitter widgets in 4x4 using the same style as the music and search widgets supplied with cupcake? I mean making them with the same white to transparent background as the cupcake widgets...Does this sound possible or like too much hard work? We already have weather widgets and we can rip the Htc icons out of the apk's.
That's definitely not hard to do, especially since twitter is so easy to implement into anything. I don't have much Java programming experience, but I'm learning.
I wonder why no one replied to this thread yet, the 4x4 widgets are a good idea =/
Why hasn't this been done yet?
The Hero widgets gave me a reason to run Hero, really. I can't stand those little widg-ettes that the other builds have... they're too small and plain looking. Big is better in my opinion.
As a matter of fact, the next generations of widgets should be 4x4, period.
Have objects in the wallpaper change perspective as you scroll your screens left or right. Like in this vid for example.
See how all the hills in the back scroll at different rates to help give that 3D depth perspective? It would be nice to have objects (like the turtles and shrooms) moving in the foreground too.
I actually want a live wallpaper that looks just like super mario bros wii, with moving backgrounds and all.
It's hard to develop, hard to play with, and icons and widget won't help you to play. The best solution is to download a super mario bross game in the market, I don't know if it already exist but it should
A game is not what i want, i want a live wallpaper that looks like the game, if you know what i mean? I want no interaction with it beyond the change in perspective when i scroll between screens.
It doesnt have to be mario bros either, it can be anything where the objects on the wallpaper scroll at different rates to give that change in perspective.
It's called parallax scrolling. It's already in some LWPs like Silhouette but not quite in the way you're referring to.
So, yeah it definitely could be done, but as far as I'm aware hasn't yet.
Parallax Scrolling... cool, thanks.
I just found a live wall paper that appears to use it, MaryJane, from the marketplace.
The leaves in the foreground and middleground move independantly of each other and from the background as well. Looks really cool... if you dont mind the type of leaves being used.
Now, if only someone would make one that mimics mario bros wii.
Yep. The MaryJane LWP is from the same group that did Silhouette.
The parallax scrolling technique was used heavily by Nintendo back in the day, as well as the PC demoscene. I'm willing to bet they pulled it out for SMB Wii as a sort of homage to the oldschool days.
Anyways, I vote that YOU start working on a LWP featuring PS in the SMB style (holy initialisms). The concept is simple enough.
thats how you play mario

I have no coding experience and wouldnt know where to start.
Someone just released a sweet live wallpaper with mario playing in the background... not exactly what i wanted, but still pretty cool.
I remember a thread on here a while ago where people were theming to get the Windows Phone 7 look. There's now a launcher on the market called Launcher 7 that does most of the work for you, you should check it out.

Just tried it out. Its very smooth, and its the best one I have come across.
im enjoying this launcher,its really smooth.

Definitely. If there's one thing that I'd like to see more of on the Market, it's more "alternative" launchers like this. Launcher Pro, ADW, Go, etc. all have their differences, but they're more or less the same in that they're all plays off of the whole multiple homescreen and a dock thing. It's nice to see new ideas out there. I remember a while back there was a launcher that showed all of your texts, email, facebook notifications, etc. in kind of an agenda view. It never really took off, but it's good to see devs think outside the box about the homescreen.

Because thats the core of how android to this point is intended to work. I like Launcher7, its fast, smooth and functional so I play with it here and there but the tile UI is comparatively bland and boring even with widget support (and the custom ones I've seen that arent bland and boring are WAY too busy). I'm gonna put it on my wifes phone since she'll love the big ass simple tiles concept.

without using custom images those 2x1 and 1x1 tiles (and the headphone/camera images) are all there is. I'm not going to spend anytime importing images because I like my android phone as an android phone and it wont get any use anyway. I was basically showing how the UI looks unmolested.
I am looking to get just the black shelves so i can add my own background.. ive seen lots of people with them and id like to get them to make my own wallpaper and add icons in photoshop.
Im looking to have 4-5 shelves on my wallpaper.
Thanks!
Id also be interested in any other shelves by themselves. Thanks!
devinatart is where they came from...he cut the shelves out and placed them on that background! with gimp or photoshop
Nevermind heres the link http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=§ion=&global=1&q=iphone+shelf#/d2wx87f
Those are where the selves came from!
Haha. Truth be told i had seen em too and thought they might be an app of some description.. Creative use of backgroung images and i mean they are top quality images. With the right screen no wonder they look interactive.
I found it! Has a clear background and ready to be put on any wallpaper.
So, is there an easy method to making sure you line them up properly when creating the wallpaper, so that the icons sit nice on them once you get the wallpaper onto your phone?
Can someone instruct me on how to place the shelves. I'm so lost .
Evo 3D in full Affect with WTSB HYDRO SENSE 3.5
you make a screen capture and then place the shelves with the help of this capture (you load it in photoshop/gimp/whatever and place the shelves under the icons and then you just swap the capture to your image)
What is your favorite live wallpaper?
Mine is seeds of life. I like to watch them swim around on my phone.
Mario Live Wallpaper
Ditto, Mario Live Wallpaper is pretty damn nice
I don't use Live Wallpapers but I have an interest in creating some.....it's an ongoing side project. If it takes off I will create a new thread for them. We shall see.
but my favorite that i have seen is the Microbes one.
My favorite live wallpaper is bubble pro.Ilike the fact that there are so many customization options .

Photile (Tiles any photo into multiple moving squares)
Quads (PS3 wavelike with multiple colors .. screenshots are uglyer then the real thing)
I like the nexus boot animation, though, it's kinda boring unless you pay for a special version.
