Erm yeah, I have downloaded all the bits on the site. Can't figure out how to apply it all, do you have to do it all individually?

No idea, I saw the Wallpaper and it wasn't high enough res for my phone. frown

The pics in the zip files are really low res. Not sure where you are supposed to get it from. Given up now.

Looks like a fiddly UI nightmare anyway.

Hmm, the one here:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/opp8lsh6hbtut3q/24.png

Is 1440x1280, which is perfect for a Nexus 7/SGS3/HTC One S, but it's too small for a new full HD phone.

Anybody got a good source for wallpapers that are -at least- 1920 TALL? frown Seems like it's still slim pickings, unless you go for pictures, but even then sources seem limited.

With respect, you would have to look VERY hard to see the difference between a wallpaper for a 720 device v's a 1080 device on a screen that small.

And before you say you can easily spot it, most 720 wallpapers IME are just upscaled from an even lower resolution, hence look gash even on the devices they were "designed for".

I probably can't, but I've got a 1080p display and I want to use it, I think that makes sense? biggrin

And as for your second comment, exactly! Loads of 1920x1080 images look gash already, and my phone will upscale them some more.

I downloaded something called Backgrounds HD from the play store. A few of the images on there seem to be pretty high resolution.

You need to make sure you're using the same launcher and settings as the guy who posted it. I've never managed to get any of his home screen UCCW themes to work properly.
Now I just use bits of them

Nice photo's, but those widgets look gash imho! (I know the app one is a stock one).

For the weather widget, take a look at "beautiful widget" for one (took a quick screengrab from mine):


For the open apps (don't have one like that), I think Minimalistic Text could pull it off.

Looks like you've driven through the app worlds version of Halfords whilst covered in glue.

Actually, all of those are stock Samsung IRC, stunned every time at the ugliness of the widgets Samsung has the nerve to deliver with their phones.

That would drive me crazy. I have to have everything on my homescreen organised, minimalistic, and symmetrical.
