iPhone iPhone 4 Wallpaper Thread (Some NSFW)

[ucfgrad93]

I don't want to sound like a troll but given how the panel fills up with icons, how useful is wallpaper anyways.

I like an uncluttered screen where I can see the images better.


Am I the only one who's underwhelmed by iOS4's wallpaper ability?

Edit btw, some of those images are awesome

Even worse are the images that make it difficult to see your icons.

You can always dim the whole wallpaper so no matter how complex it is your icons will always pop.

Now THAT is an idea I'll definitely put to good use. I, myself, was rather skeptical of busy or colorful images that would clash with the apps and their respective designs, but dimming the background image is just the answer. Thanks for the brilliant input!

you can have different wallpapers for the unlock screen and the home screen. so for the unlock screen i use a nice picture and for the home screen i use something simple so that it doesn't interfere with the icons.

I like the way you think.

Pretty amazing shot of two F-15's flying nearby shuttle Atlantis taking off.

Agreed, but the recent change with iOS allows them to be on all the time and I found them to interfere with the icons, given that the panels are usually pretty much filled up.

You can set up an iPhone with sparse icons on the main page..you can put just one icon on the first page if you'd like...
There's no requirement that the iPhone has to have 16 icons on each page...
The desktop wallpaper feature is awesome I think. I love having a wallpaper on my iPad.

Now, this is some very nice wallpaper.

seeing the size of the wallpapers, its going to be funny seeing screenshots from the OS

I've been taking the Mac OS wallpapers and re-sizing them for the iPhone 4. I've made a zip file of them here:

I think they'll make wonderful "behind-the-apps" images. After all, that's what they were designed to do on the Mac!

Here's a sample of one:

And here's a custom one I made. Even if you prefer black, why not try my new "Glowing Black" background?

It's got slight grey glow in the center. I'm betting it will look wonderful on the new iPhone's screen.

Will os4 allow different lockscreen & home screen wallpaper?

Not the best but how's this:

I have these 2 that I made back when they announced 4.0 but they're not high resolution.

I like the one to the right more. The one to the left looks really faded.

You have to put them in the 'Public' folder in Dropbox for us to see them.

EDIT: Really awesome!

They should be fixed now. And thanks for the info, I had no idea.

Then fix them, it's not called the "iPhone 4 Wallpaper Thread" for nuthin'!

What software do people make these with?

But hey, aren't you happy to know that you can trust Dropbox with your files you don't want people to see?

 

[bndoarn]

Sorry, this post is a little off topic.

What software do people make these with?

I use GIMP (kind of like a free version of photoshop) but I didn't make the entire thing. I found the wood background online and made it lighter and to make the shelves GIMP has a wood paint brush so I used that and added a shadow effect. And on the one with the iPhone in the background, it's just the "Made for iPhone" logo made a little transparent with a shadow effect. So basically I just took different things and put them together and added effects.

But hey, aren't you happy to know that you can trust Dropbox with your files you don't want people to see?

Haha. I guess but i don't really need to worry about that. The only reason I use Dropbox is to easily transfer files from one computer to another or if I do something for school I can upload it to Dropbox just incase I forget it.

I have about 300 now obsolete iPhone wallpapers. Guess it's back to the Interface drawing board.

None of the wallpapers you've been using on your older iPhone are "obsolete". They will look exactly the same on the iPhone 4 as they do on older models.

 

[TurboSC]

excellent!

great start guys... we're actually ramping up to also support iPhone 4 wallpapers soon, so I'll try to swing by and post some for you guys!
