New N900Wallpapers site (now with 100% less ads) - Page 2 - maemo.org

RDJEHV | # 11 | 2009-11-30, 13:14 | Report

Can you make a category for "wallpapers that consist of 4 pictures"? (I don't mean loopable but like this one: http://www.n900wallpapers.com/wallpa...irates-stadium)

It does! I'm not sure how well it works in reality - I believe you'd have to have the .desktop file in the same place as the images (relative path). I don't have an N900, and my emulator is down at the moment, so I haven't been able to check.

This is correct. The wallpapers and site will always be free. The google ads have been replaced with somewhat prettier Prismic 'ads' in preparation for this shift.

I wasn't able to get the HildonFileChooserDialog to work at the time this screenshot was taken. I will re-look into it, but I can assure you it does work well for what it needs to do

Thanks for the heads up! I've fixed this now so it should all be working nicely.

Screenshot?

This is totally right

Just seemed like a more honest way of counting...

Yes! I can. I will think about the best way to do this today.

The Ambassador's Choice is yet to be fully populated, but will consist of hand picked high quality wallpapers. An Op-Ed on wallpapers, basically.

I spent a good while making that one. Decided to make the street wider than it was in the original game because the aspect ratio was different and was only 192 pixels high instead of the usual 240. Hope you enjoy it.

Anyone figure out how to use the *.desktop files?

I don't thInk that is right. I've tried it, and it actually causes problems. For example if the *.desktop file is in the images folder, then the background dialogue won't open and certain shortcuts and widgets are deleted from the desktop. Any idea exacly how to do this?

can we get some panoramic Dallas Cowboy Stadium, Six Flags over Texas, or Texas Rangers Ballpark in Arlington? (I loves my city...)
Here's a decent one, but not ideal.
