Dandelions Live Wallpaper

A field with dandelion flowers and blowballs. The downy seed heads sway in the wind while seeds fly in the air carried by the wind. Clouds and the sun move over the sky that shifts color dynamically according to the time. As the night slowly falls the moon appears clearer and clearer until fully visible at midnight. Sun rises around 6 am by the lower left corner and end the day with a magnificent sunset in the other corner around 6 pm.

Background scroll now works on HTC Sense 3.0.

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

- number of dandelions
- number of seeds
- number of birds
- flower size
- set any time of day (colors and light change)
- or use dynamic real time mode
- wind speed
- enable/disable bird hunt mode (with stats)
- set number of stars

- enable/disable twinkling stars
- set position and size of the moon
- change rotation speed of the sun
- show/hide the sun
- show/hide high clouds
- show/hide low clouds
- silhouette mode
- use true color (24 bit)

This live wallpaper is OpenGL based. This means that animations and graphics will flow much smother 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.
