I skimed through this thread, and didn't see what kind of file is used on the wallpaper. So If I wanted to make my own I could. Or do we just send you Ideas and wait for them?

backreading this is something i was suppoed to ask maemo.org

the live background is a tweak to existing desktop widget code.
ie, if you have already written a fremantle widget, it should be adjustable to work as a background.
grab the source of one of the existing live backgrounds and see if you can understand it yourself, if you can then you aren't waiting any longer..

BTW, that Super Mario thing is very easy. It is just a simple video of a speedrun of Super Mario.

Anyways, Its sad to see that this hasnt progressed much. Things IMO that are missing:

* Video support
* Weather/time interactive (You see a city as the background and as real time progresses, the sun/moon moves with daylight and nighttime coming into play and if it is really raining in your city, it will start to rain in the background. Also things like the forth of July, you see fireworks, etc)
* More than 1 wallpaper for multiple desktops (can be expanded to the above idea as multiple time zones/cities)

Maybe the developer has a life besides the N900?
Just my 2 cents....

And because of that we cant be sad that it hasnt progressed?

We arent mad at the developer just sad it hasnt progressed.

would he change his mind if we THANKED him :P?
guys if you read this, just take some time to thank him!

I dont think so. If he isnt intrested in the project any more, thats it.


Another feature this would need is random wallpapers on every startup or every x minutes.

All the features Ive posted exclude thinking of the battery life.

Version 0.6 of LiveWallpaper coming soon.

Thank you for becoming reinterested in the project. We need more devs like yourself.
