WP Clock Live wallpaper

Hopefully this is in the right place to post, but I had to share this for those that never heard of this live wallpaper.
Its easy on the battery since there's not alot moving, and overall just a nice informative wallpaper to have.
There's a free and paid version 65cents? Paid version doesn't really offer to much more than the free one, besides choosing a background and different color fonts and making the font move. But at 65cents not a bad deal I suppose.
Its called WP Clock on the market.

i just love WP Clock..

May I ask if anyone knows what is the widget that looks like the wallpaper with the clock and the tine n stuff but its a widget instead of a wallpaper.

Is this what you're looking for?

Been using this for a full month by now. It's by far the most useful/pretties widget replacing wallpaper I've yet to use.
And for its price, it's a steal.

this thing rocks... LOVE IT!!!

just bought wp clock and i must say it looks fantastic. one thing abt it though, i don't like how its a wallpaper so every homescreen's filled with the thing. really need the space on other homescreens for other stuff. if only they could make this into a widget. typoclock looks similar but i love the data connection and battery info. i tried using multi live wallpaper to have multiple wallpapers simultaneously but it doesnt support using a live wallpaper and a normal one from the gallery. so i guess im stuck, or has anyone found a solution for this yet?

the developer is really good at taking and implementing suggestions... I asked for drop shadow, but he wasn't able to figure that out, so he did the outline so I set my text to white (40% opaque) and outline to black (4pt 80% opaque) and it's almost as good as drop shadow... definitely gives enough contrast to where you can read it no matter what your background is... tell you what, I would actually like the same thing, so I will request it as well, and maybe we'll get it twice as fast =)

[STOCK] Wallpaper Template +other stuff!

I was getting pretty frustrated with how our phones crop the wallpaper these days.
I was looking and looking for a wallpaper template, but couldn't find one. So I made one.
It's in Paint.net's PDN, Gimp's XCF, and Photoshop PSD
The wallpaper I made in the screenshot was using the PDN.
I only made the XCF and PSD for those of you who do not like using Paint.net, I assume they work just as well, but haven't tested them.
If they don't work properly, let me know and I'll try to fix them.
In the Templates.7z package you'll find the blank E4GT-Template.xxx which is 960x800 @ 206ppi
I had read that the stock wallpapers were 960x800, which seems to be the size of the cropping block when you set a wallpaper.
480x800 is the screen size, you'll notice there are (2) 240x800 black bars on the sides, these get truncated.
All you have to so is add whatever image you want as a layer behind the "Box" layer.
What you can see is what you'll get when you set the wallpaper on your phone.
I've attached a screenshot of my phone with a Borderlands 2 style wallpaper I made.
Just for you, I've included the template for it as well: BL2-Blank.pdn
You'll notice a solid red background on the this one, this is to check for gaps.
If there are no gaps, you won't see it when you flatten the image, or just delete it.
If you have more than 5 pages of stuff, you'll need to change the size of the top box for the page indication thing.
This is for people who are stock, or don't have scrolling wallpaper as an option.
Feedback is appreciated.
Enjoy!

If you're running stock, one of Samsung's updates actually disabled the scrolling wallpaper feature - originally, you would in fact make wallpapers 960x800. It's actually one of the reasons I went and rooted my phone - I loved that feature, and I thought it was lame that they took it out.
That being said, this is very useful, especially for those running a single screen setup, or running stock. I haven't made a wallpaper in such a long time - I'll edit one into this post for anyone interested. Maybe a Fallout inspired one?

This reminds me that I forgot to mention a few things in the original post.
Something Fallout/Pip-boy inspired could be cool!

Best game ever!! Can't stop playing.

The wallpapers are extremely annoying. I never uses scrolling before, but when they took it away it messed up everything.

I got the Nova Launcher from Play while it was on sale, made a background for it using the same template and made some folder backgrounds
The regular grey bar was ripped from the site same as the yellow one I used on the Maya background.
The regular box is made from it.
The Modified images I smoothed the coloring out, and made the orange a little darker, preserving the highlights.
I'm including the background if anyone wants it, and a screenshot of how I used it.
You need to make the dock margins Large.

Wallpaper archive seperated by color?

Hey guys
If youre as ocd as me than you all spend an unnecessary amount of time looking for the perfect wallpaper in the exact or slightly bigger resolution
Finding these wallpapers is difficult. Theres a plethora of sites but only one (wallbase) organize it by colour instead of category
When i fancy my phone up ill match everything to a coloured theme. So i ask.
Does anyone know where to get wallpapers in our exact resolution that is organized by colour?
If not can you at least post some white wallpapers
Thanks

[Request] Live Wallpaper

Hey so I was hoping someone knew how or would like to create a live wallpaper that would look nice. Back on sense on the original evo, there was that sense moving colorful circles, always wanted someone to attempt to make a cooler version of that. If anyone is up to it, or knows where I could find a section on xda willing, I would appreciate it.
But anyways, my general idea is like this wallpaper (not 100%) I found but moving, passing over one another, all that. Maybe color changing like fading to different colors or movement speed in its settings or any of that kind of stuff. This is only an idea I think some people would love for a nice neutral live wallpaper considering a lot now a days aren't so good imo...
Edit: I know this isn't a request forum or shouldn't be named request, more of possible ideas to be developed. And the reason I don't use the sense one is because it got a bit boring.. I'm personally a fan of black with bright colors or abstract, what ever it would be called.

[Q] Where to find layout-style wallpapers to use for creating theme?

Hey guys,
So I've got an awesome theme design in mind, and i need to create a wallpaper design that lines up with the elements of my theme (all the Widgets etc).. For example, the wallpaper having a sidebar, or segments for the Widgets and whatnot to sit inside of.. stuff like that..
Anyhow, I'm gonna give it a shot, but im not super pro with Photoshop. So to save some time, i was going to try to just find a wallpaper that i can work with. So here's my question:
- Where can I find wallpapers that have these types of "layout" style of designs, that i can use for creating a theme with?
Been searching everywhere but can't seem to figure out how to word it correctly :/
Thanks in advance!
-Ender

Like, is there a specific name for that type of wallpaper? Something like "layout wallpaper" or something I can search for to find the type of wallpapers I'm looking for?

Google "Icon Shelf Wallpaper for Android/IOS".. It's rather simple to make those wallpapers from any image actually, so if you'd prefer your own custom image, you could google "how to make wallpapers with icon shelves for android/ios". ^^

I usually just use a bitmap on a bottom layer, because you can adjust whatever image you bring in, allowing you to use whatever image you want as a background/starting point.
