Well this is my first try at making a cool wallpaper.
Looks pretty cool

nice but the black img is low quality
i agree when i get a few minutes I need to fix that.
Many of you may have probably played or seen the tower defense game (cannot find it now sigh - wonder if it has been pulled from the market)... anyway, a tower defense game had awesome neon edges and menus. Also, Glow Hockey is a good example. A light green or blue neon for the dialer number edges and what not (I think) would look sweet and could be incorporated throughout.
I've began to learn from dreamsforgotten's tutorial on theming and I'm getting somewhere, but I'm slow-learning Gimp and it's going to take me forever.
Maybe dreams or jstine or another talented themer would like to tackle this...

I would but right now I am working on a dark red theme with maybe red flames in certain spots in the rom. Could happen when we start to see EB13 roms have a standard OPS, we can spend more time just making themes and not worry which rom they will work on.. If that doesn't happen then I will only build themes for roms based on ACS releases.
Ok the dark red theme is done

I like those colors but that's not the game. Ill look again. The cross in my sig is along the lines of what I'm hoping for. I need to start fooling around with gimp again myself.

Take one of my themes and use Gimp under filters is an option for drop shadows. Set the color you want, then non resize, x= 0 & y=0 with radius to anywhere's from 5 to 15 depending on the size of the image and how much of an edge you have in the image. If the image is edge to edge then hit copy, clear, paste, layer, resize the layer to 5 pixels less and then use the drop shadow. That's how you can get the theme you are looking for. You may use any or all of my images in your theme, all I ask for is some credit if you release the theme to the wild. I'm alway willing to help with questions.

Was it "Retro Defense"?

No the game is no longer in the market don't know why... seems like it started with an x...
Sweet mystery, look forward to seeing that.
Jstine671, thanks for that quick tutorial. I'm going to check that out when I get off work.

I did a theme that has a neon blue feel to it if you want to look at it. It's still in it's early stages, but maybe worth a look.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1021013
Ok jstine way would work for neon, but there is a easy way of doing this neon affect in Gimp you are looking for. You will need to download a up to date script-fu pack for Gimp. After you install this you will notice on your top tool bar a script-fu option tab right next to your filters option. You merely take an existing image or let's say button png. Make it completely black and then in your toolbox where it lists your layers right click on the layer and choose alpha selection, then go up to your script-fu tab and select glow selection. This will make a ring around any image that is alpha selected. You can choose your color, border thicknes and glow radius to give your neon effect. It is really quick and easy to do after you do it once, so easy that you could knock out an entire theme out relatively quick. Hope this helps you with your gimping!

Thanks I will check it out
There was a thread similar to this a little while back, but it died. So what do you use the most? Do you have some cool ones to share? Usually I just check the market for good ones.
Also, so anyone know where I can get the stock samsung galaxy s series lwps? I can seem to find a good link to download them from. And I really want the "ocean" one. Any help would be appreicated!

i attempted but all the ones that were available the link was broken. usually when i google i find nothing but the newest leaked SGS2
Almost anything by Kittehface is golden. Here's the ones I use, switching between them depending on the mood:
aniPet Aquarium
Asteroid Belt (Kittehface, really awesome)
Blue Skies (Kittehface, really awesome)
Fireflies (the one with the light bulbs)
Giraffe
Ice Galaxy
Jungle Waterfall (Kittehface)
Rays of Light
Silhouette (Kittehface)
Vortex Galaxy
I'm a big fan of Live wallpaper; it's just something that clearly makes our devices stand out immediately.
i completely agree with you. i like the galaxy ones by that dev, i but it seems to run REALLY slow on my even overclocked G2. depending on the ROM
I use 'Multipicture'. Its not really a 'live' wallpaper, but it acts like one and allows you to set different wallpapers for each screen. Its available for free in the market.
I love solar winds, would live to be able to customize it.
Zoomfield, 3D starfield, plasma.
If there was a waveform mod that allowed you to change the background image and color of the wafeform, I would be very happy in my pants. Does anyone knowbof a music influenced lwp other than waveform and vu meter?
I've been using one called "Shadow Galaxy" made by "maxelus.net" that I found on the Android market. It is one of four Space galaxy wallpapers by maxelus.net. The other three are "Vortex Galaxy", "Ice Galaxy" and "Inferno Galaxy."
All four of the Galaxy wallpapers are free and very nice to look at IMO. Obviously, they use more battery than static wallpapers but I have gotten pretty good battery life while running these. Check them out, they are not my creations but I do enjoy them.
I just installed Night Sky and the Ice and Shadow Galaxy live wallpapers. Shadow Galaxy is my favorite by far. The graphics are stunning!

I love all of these, I switched weekly- thank you for posting this!
Any Idea how to capture the screen?
Edit: nevermind with rooted device there are some apps
I found a new one that's downright incredible: Celestial Bodies. The lite version isn't great imo because it's restricted to one view (the one I dislike), but the full version is fantastic, runs like a dream on this phone and doesn't even show up on my battery stats. There's another amazing one called Solar System 3d that has the best graphics I've ever seen on this thing, but it was showing up as 29% of battery use after 6 hours of being unplugged, so I stopped using it. Not sure if that was a fluke or not but worth noting.

DualBoot Games has nice relaxing sceneries with weather and day/night cycle.
Galaxy s3 got few goodlooking live wallpapers from what I saw in one of android central articles. Hopefully some ninja can extract it and post the apk here.

I highly recommend Torment live wallpaper from Android Wax. Probably the best live wallpaper I have ever seen. They have some of the best free live wallpapers too. Not sure why they don't get a lot of recognition on Google Play because I have never seen them as an app of the month. You should also try Car locator by Edward Kim. That app has become very useful to me.
Here is a link to Android Wax

That and Gate of Time get my vote for best wallpapers!
Isn't it a battery drainer though?

Just bought True Weather LWP and it's definitely one of the most beautiful wallpapers I've ever seen. There also a free version for testing.

Give "Mystic Halo" a go, if you like a simple dark wallpaper ..just installed it today..
Thanks everyone for so many suggestions!
i think the original is the best.:good:
Can anyone point me to a space/cosmology-oriented live wallpaper? I'd only use a live one if I could get something of that theme, would appreciate it, thanks!
Apart from the 'Galactic Core' one already mentioned, try 'Asteroid Belt Free' and 'Shadow Galaxy'.
'Quads' is awesome, although it can be slow in some situations.
City at Night
Microbes
Black Hole
Space Robot

Silhouette
Use Force Fields . You can put it on top of any image and it looks awesome.
Not only it is very light on battery , the fact that you can change the image keeping the live feeling is awesome.
Stripe ICS LWP
Currently I am using the Galactic Core one, which looks fantastic on the S3 <3 I have tried a lot of LWP but I get bored of them.
