Canopy Live Wallpaper

by on Nov.28, 2010, under Android Apps

Canopy is a live wallpaper for Android phones.  When you first load the wallpaper a large branch grows from the bottom of the screen and the screen starts to zoom in. After the branch has grown more branches sprout from it and more from the new branches and more from them. This continues as you zoom forever into the new branches. Canopy is vector based so it will look gorgeous on any size display.

You can download Canopy by searching for “Canopy Live Wallpaper” in the Market or by using this QR code.

Canopy is based on the Chrome Canopy. However, there were some modifications that had to be made to allow it to be used as a background.  The biggest being that it had to be able to zoom by itself. In Chrome Canopy the user uses the mouse to control the zoom, in Canopy Live Wallpaper it automatically zooms into the place with the most action. Another change was that the number of branches on screen had to be reduced due to the fact that it has to run on a phone and not a powerful desktop. However, this is adjustable in the settings.

Canopy Live Wallpaper is fully customizable.

You have full control over

  • The color of the branches
  • The color of the background
  • The number of branches on screen
  • The number of twigs that grows off each branch
  • How crooked the branches can get
  • Number of vertices that compose each branch (detail vs. speed)
  • Zoom speed
  • Anti-Aliasing
  • Max FPS
