[App] Wallpaper Designer [V4.x is coming up...]

OlliG · May 3, 2014

Welcome to "The WPD" == "The Wallpaper Designer"......

What is this ?
This is an App that generates colorful wallpaper-png's in High-Res!
This App is free, but has an In App Purchase for an upgrade to Premium Version.
Free and Premium are the same, except for: ...look further down in this description....

There is a lot of randomizing in this App...so no wallpaper will ever look the same!
Every generated wallpaper is different! You will never get exactly the same result again!

And there are tons of different settings to play with!
This is a super Fun App! Play with the options! Check out how different the images can be!!

Why this ?
Some of you may know me from my other threads
"The Battery LWP"
"The Rom Fumbler".

I'm into Battery Icons and (Live) Wallpapers....for my livewallpapers I was always looking for nice background images....
Google Image Search was not able to deliver enough wallpapers for me (besides the copyright-problems of using the images)....
...so an idea was born: Why not generate wallpaper-images with some math-algorithm!

So here you go....

Free vs. Premium Version
Funtionality-wise both versions are the same....
But.... The free Version has a small "annoying" text at the top of the generated images

And premium Users have access to some special Designs to download from within the App

Changelog
Version 4 is coming up with the ability to share designs with other users....

Download

Download from Playstore

Known Bugs

....you tell me!

"How to" or "what is the magic behind this?"
This App uses a lot of randomization...this will probably look cryptic for some of you....so I will try to explain how this works!

If you go into Settings of this app you see 3 main sections:
- Wallpaper Size
- Wallpaper Style
- Color Scheme

The simple part....
First of all you select the desired size of the Wallpaper!

Then the trickier part....
Then you choose a Color-Scheme....
The Color Scheme can have 2 or 4 different colors. These colors are used to draw a gradient all over the Wallpaper!
What kind of Gradient is defined with the "Color Gradient" option...
So when you generate/render an image...the first thing that is done internally is drawing this gradient all over the wallpaper

Now for the random "magic"...
Then you choose the Style...default is "Patterns" what is the only style at the moment (more will come)
Lets say you chose "Star" as pattern....
To draw the first star...
- the algorithm picks a random x/y-position in the gradient wallpaper
- and takes the color at this x/y-position.
--- the found color can also be randomized within a cofigurable range (Randomize Color (Range) settings)
--- the transparency of this color can also be randomized (Randomize Alpha (Range) settings)
- Then a star with this color and transparency (with a random size and orientation/rotation) is drawn at this position.
- This star can drop a shadow (if dropShadow is configured in settings)
- The Color of the dropshadow can also be randomized. (the random color is picked from another random x/y-position in the wallpaper)
This is done for 1000 stars!

Finally you have your unique image...it's like a fingerprint...nobody will generate the exact same image again

Save the image with the save-button....
You will find it at
