About this app

Live wallpaper which turns your home screen into the clear gradient of the sky according to the current time of the day.
Due to the fact that animation in real time is not used, this live wallpaper is battery saving and consume just a little more power than an ordinary image, but also uses less RAM.

You can launch settings once - required for specifying the location (GPS) for correct calculation of Sun and Moon rises and sets, moon tilt angle (differs depends on latitude) and then the sky gradient with moon and stars will be presented according to the current time of the day.

You can setup your own unique gradient by picking a custom image for background! Or simply choose the corresponding time of the day. You can also play with moon phases.

The application is extremely battery efficient (and memory so low as possible): it uses simple shapes and therefore does not use ANY textures at all, redraws the sky only when the application starts, when the screen turns ON and when preferences are changed.

Phones and tablets are supported (landscape and portrait orientation).
Application uses the hardware acceleration powered by OpenGL ES 2.0.

Back in 2012, after I got my first smartphone, I downloaded a wallpaper called 'TimeGradient'. It changed color according to the time of day. It could be set to follow the sunrise & sunset. When I replaced my phone, I could no longer find the wallpaper to install it on my new phone. I discovered this wallpaper 2 years ago & have installed it on every device, I could since then. It works exactly like 'TimeGradient' & is my favorite wallpaper.

It should be self-updated when turning off and then turning on the screen. Does it happened this way? Upd.: What do you mean?
