Background Update


A new update has been released! Since some people did not like my photoshopped image, I added a new photo for the background image. You can still use the previous background through the settings menu.

I'm currently working on adding more movement to the background via animation, so stay tuned!

Snow Live Wallpaper's First Update!

I've uploaded the first update to the wallpaper. It includes a minor fix for a bug where the wind wasn't actually doing anything.

I also added a setting to adjust the update delay. This allows the user to choose how often the wallpaper updates - allowing the user to choose between quality and performance.

I've been reading through the comments and the consensus seems to be that there needs to be more movement and improved images. I am working on these and they will hopefully both be added in the next update. Keep the comments coming!

Status and ToDo

Since Google wants a webpage to go along with my developer account, I decided to create this blog to follow the status of my Snow Live Wallpaper.

I've been working on the wallpaper for roughly a month now, and it's nearing a distributable stage. As of now, the wallpaper includes:

- A winter-themed background that scrolls when you swipe
- Falling snow with customizable settings, such as
  - Density
  - Snow Weight
  - Wind Strength

I'm currently adding support for multiple background layers. This will help create depth and result in a much more believable scene. I am also working on file browsing to allow the user to select their own background images for each layer.

I'm open to questions and suggestions, so if you have any ideas just pop me an email.
