Sunflowers Live Wallpaper

Now wiith parallax mode (using the gyroscope)!

A field with sunflowers swaying in the wind while bumble-bees fly in the air in search for sweet nectar. Clouds move over the sky that shifts color dynamically during the day and night. At dawn the sun rises and moves slowly over the sky until sunset around 6 pm. As the night falls the moon appears clearer and clearer until fully visible at midnight.

Background scroll now works on HTC Sense 3.0.

While the free version is beautiful and fully functional, the settings are locked. The full version is highly customizable:

- number of sunflowers
- set any time of day (colors and light change)
- or use dynamic real time mode
- wind speed
- set size and position of the moon
- show/hide the sun
- show/hide high clouds
- show/hide low clouds
- silhouette mode
- use true color (24 bit)

and much more

This live wallpaper is OpenGL based. This means that animations and graphics will flow much smoother than if it was using the CPU. It also means that the phone's CPU is not working, giving much less impact on overall phone performance. The wallpaper is only active when visible, so battery consumption is very insignificant.
