Wallpaper and its progress   Posted on 07. Feb, 2010 by Wim Haanstra in Apple, Cocoa, Coding.

I have been working on Wallpaper a lot this week, and there has been a lot of progress. If you followed my twitter, you also know most that has happened, otherwise here is a little recap.

• Wallpaper now has a new source for wallpapers. TheWallpapers.org
• Wallpapers are now searchable, by their tag and name.
• Not only iPad resolution wallpapers are available now, also larger images.
• Working on new in-app graphics
• External images can now be used
• Removed portrait mode from the application
• Brought back memory usage with 50%

Features which still need to be added:

• Ranking wallpapers (and share them with TheWallpapers.org)
• Uploading own wallpapers
• See stats of the wallpapers, resolution, download count, ranking, tags, etc.

The startup screen has been reworked, to express our thanks to our supplier. (click to enlarge)

On a nerdy note: I created the background of the startup screen with 7 lines of C# code .
