two more, accidentally saved in jpg though

[formulanerd]

if anyone wants those two, i can redo in PNG, you can see some of the artifacting in JPG, but on the phone it might look fine.

Awesome Formula! Thanks!

[formulanerd]

this might be a tad too colorful for some tastes.

do you not see all the compression artifacts? no offense, i know doing this takes time, but that picture looks like doo-doo.... maybe it would look better if you started with the original image instead of photoshopping a photoshop... also, try working with PNG instead of JPG.

again, no offense, just some friendly pointers!

First off - no offense taken - I would be stupid to turn down help/info....

I just noticed that they need to be in PNG format - my bad. Yes I saw the artifacts but they probably won't show up on the Droid - at least I hope not...

Just messing around - I will try to make up for it by contributing some better backgrounds over the next few days....

hmmm, sounds like the actual wallpaper size is 959x854, with the center line of resolution being shared.... or would that be 958? its late and my brain hurts.

EDIT: tried 958, with 479 on each.... i still get the left bleeding 1px on the right side... and this is in the emulator.... weird.

Maybe its just a problem with the emulator? We can only hope as this will be majorly annoying ;/

I've tryed both 960 and 958 as well, and both leak a pixel on the right screen. I'm going to try 959 overall width with both colors at 479 and a third color @ 1px in the middle, and see what happens. Will report back~

[formulanerd]

ohhhh, i thought you had the phone!

if someone has the phone, we could send it to them and see if it's just the emulator. or we can just wait till friday.

1px in the middle should work, and if it was black it would blend into the border, as long as it doesnt mess up the flow of the wallpaper on the center screen.

Here's a couple I have worked on. Of course, there is no guarantee they will look good cause I have not been able to test them yet on an actual phone.









(^ I know this one has artifacts...it's just a great image and I have no higher res of it. I am hoping it isn't noticed on the smaller screen.)

[Redflea]

You guys are very cool...those look amazing (artifacts and all!!).

The problem won't be finding a great wallpaper, the problem will be sticking with one for more than a few hours.

I made some wallpapers, mainly cause I need something to do while I impatiently wait out the final few days until the Droid comes out.
First, some general "Nature"-y wallpapers. These will work with the weird divide because there's just vista and no real focus to the images:



And next some anime wallpapers. Don't know if anyone here is a fan, but this wallpaper thread is pretty bare so what the heck:


That's it for now. I needs sleep.

Sleep is good.

The ones in the first set look really good.

Too many in the second set make me feel like a dirty old man. I do quite like the top-left one - the one w/the muted colors. What anime is that from?

(My fav animes are the movies Ghost in the Shell, and most anything by Miyazaki, like My Neighbor Totorro, and Porco Rosso, etc.)

Thanks...

[formulanerd]

nice tbower, i really like the last one, i looks kinda like the layouts they use in DNA testing or whatever... very cool

[CaptainStrong]

formulanerd thanks man! cant wait to try some of these out on friday.

so to anyone with the phone...what's the easiest way to load a wallpaper? browse to this page on the Droid then attempt to set as background or something? save these images on a PC then transfer them over?
