do you have any specific quirk about wallpapers?
I’ve used plain black as my phone wallpaper for most of its lifetime, because every time I tried a wallpaper I just find them distracting and made icons harder to identify
recently I tried to use some just to not get dragged into the “wow” trend and make my phone feel shiny and novelty again, no need to change
but it’s so hard to find those that don’t trigger my brain and make me want to go back to black!
I mostly feel comfortable with low contrast, abstract, plain or gradient ones so it’s an actual “background” image that looks good but doesn’t compete for my attention, however SEO favours really detailed and complex ones
do you feel the same?
Too much detail or contrast are an insta-nope. So for example if its orange it should be all orange, not having an island of contrasting colour somewhere. You can find the older stock wallpapers from various phones like the oneplus and pixel lines and some of those are quite good. I also like the ones that animate just for a second as you switch the screen on and off, but these are so hard to find. The animated ones I find are permanently animated and this is horrible and unusable.
agree, sometimes I find cute abstract wallpapers but they feel wrong once applied, it seems like it’s something about the constraint, so I prefer gradients instead also, that one wallpaper from Android Jelly Bean look so cute still, it has colours but very subtle ones
