Default Got bored made an iPhone wallpaper

Didn't really see a topic for something like this, guess it could've gone in the photoshop topic. But here it is. Used a shot of my car I took last year.




if you've made some wall papers for the iPhone feel free to share them I change mine multiple times a week LOL.

I did a google search for iPhone wallpaper template and found one on macnn. used it as a guide in photoshop.

you can also crop an image to size easily enough to 320x480 to fit the iPhones display.

Unless you have a Jailbroken iPhone you cannot create icons or sliders.

Jailbreaking it will void the warranty, but its reversible. Major pain in the *** to do though.

Have you ever jailbroken a phone? It is ridiculously easy, the only thing that is slightly harder than simple jailbreaking is jailbreaking and unlocking 2.2, but it's still stupid easy.

This is what mine looks like:



I have a different background now though.

with the way I did it the diamond plate makes a good background for the slider and clock. and I can njoy the picture without the clutter. I used to have mine unlocked before 2.x and the app store and besides the constant wallpaper option everything I used was in the appstore anyways so I never feltthe need to jailbreak it again.

Mine looks like this
In Cydia under themes for Winterboard it is under iGlassSol. It's a really cool theme and very indepth. I made my dock transparent though, but obviously you don't have to, I also removed all my labels for all the apps, it looks cleaner to me.

Here is how it looks now:



And how it looks when charging, I think this is really cool:
