I dont have any idea on how you would go about doing this, but would it be possible to have some sort of video wallpaper?

I once had a script for OSX that activated the screensaver as desktop background (under the icons), but it was nice just to showoff with friends.. it became easily laggy for a normal use...

After the ridiculous amount of traffic the site has received in the last 48 hours (just shy of 10,000 page views, 1,500 uniques), I spent last night working on some changes which I think improve the site somewhat and add features here and there.
Specifically:
Still to do:
Anyway. I think the amount of traffic received is a testament to the overall interest in the n900. It's really great to see some of the wallpapers that have been uploaded too, really nice stuff. Looking forward to getting my n900 more and more every day
Interesting it hasn't been indexed by google yet, so all that traffic is referrals and direct hits. Go figure.
Specifically:
- Added some code that ensures the images are resaved at 800x480 if they're a funky size. This works most of the time, but I think there's something up with the thumbnails occasionally. Nothing major though.
- Created and implemented a tags system. Now we can tag the wallpapers when they're uploaded. Even built in a little comma-separated autocomplete which works well.
- Improved the back-end admin tools so I can actually manage the wallpaper details and tags after they've been submitted (previously I could only approve).
- Panoramic images are all approved at once, so no more mass emailing per image (sorry).
- Browse by tags now at http://www.n900wallpapers.com/tags/
- Redesigned the browse pages somewhat, and did some tweaks to the site CSS to make it a little more.. refined.
- Modified the licensing information in the footer as per request.
- Generic bug fixes like removing slashes from outputs and boring finicky stuff like that.
Still to do:
- "This is awesome!/I like this!" rating system
- RSS feeds
- Auto-slicing of 3200x480 images (turns out to be harder than it sounds)

I plan to organize some older items I've done and put a few new bgs together. Mine will all be watermark free and I don't care what you do with them. Send them to a fabric manufacturer and make pajamas out of them for all I care.

Tim - I noticed that the top left of the screen has a persistent menu. Is this standard for all n900's? If so, you could put your watermark up there in the top left and I think everyone would be cool with that.

Great to see all those backgrounds
For wallpaper creators, if you want to make the use of a four-pack wallpapers easier, then you can create a simple text file that then causes the wallpapers to appear as "Image set" in the Change Background dialog.
1) Create a text file in a simple text editor of your choice (no MS Word or things like that please). Give it a name according to your images:
2) Update the contents of that file with your own wallpaper name and image files, using this template:
For that stuff to work, you need to place the file and the images to the "Images" folder in the device.
