WallPaper GUI Updated
Posted on 16. Feb, 2010 by Wim Haanstra.
Ok just a small update post, to show you that I am not dead, lost, gone crazy or anything else.
The GUI of WallPaper is still under heavy development and I am looking for the nicest way to manage this 22.000+ wallpaper library. So here are some screenshots. Not every screen is made yet, but it will be finished by the end of the week (hopefully).
WallPaper iPhone Edition – continued
Posted on 11. Feb, 2010 by Wim Haanstra.
So here are some more pics of the WallPaper for iPhone application. The collection of wallpapers is still growing because of our very nice source TheWallpapers.org.
The loading of the wallpapers is speed up by resizing them (on server) to the resolution closest matching to the iPhone resolution.The cool thing is, that this is all taken care of on the server (recognizing the iphone and supplying the right image), which should speed things up when a new iPhone with a larger resolution is released.
Ofcourse the interface is not finished and pimped yet, but its looking pretty sweet if I must say so myself…

Wallpaper and its progress
Posted on 07. Feb, 2010 by Wim Haanstra.
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

WallPaper iPad Edition
Posted on 28. Jan, 2010 by Wim Haanstra.
I am currently working hard to get the iPad edition of WallPaper up and running. This not only involves rewriting the application, to use the new media server I got up, but also getting a whole new library of wallpapers up there.
I am glad I decided to make my media server support multiple resolutions.
EDIT: Uploaded another screenshot.
Screenie after the break… (more…)
