Guides

These notes are written against the files on this site. They are not a generic “top 10 wallpapers” list. Use them when a thumbnail is not enough.

• How to choose a phone wallpaper

  Contrast, empty space, and crop matter more than picking a pretty thumbnail.

• Color and mood on a phone screen

  Hue changes glance and glare. It does not change your personality.

• Wallpaper size and resolution

  A tall 2K JPEG is a phone file first. Desktop is a crop, not a second master.

• OLED wear and static wallpapers

  Soft mid tones age better than a hard white bar you never move.

• Lock screen versus home screen

  Give the clock a subject. Give the icons a field.
