- Pick a live wallpaper
Last year’s Pixel brought Live Earth wallpapers that
gave your home screen a cool three-dimensional
feel, but this year’s live wallpapers go beyond parallax
effects. Simply press down on your home screen
and tap the Wallpapers icon to find them. Inside the
Living universe tab you’ll find a series of wallpapers
that are like mini-movies on your home screen. The
movement is subtle (such as waves crashing against
the shore), but it adds a bit of surprise and delight to
what was already a gorgeous array of photos.
Furthermore, there’s a set of ‘Come alive’
wallpapers that feature interactive designs. Some
let you manipulative shapes with your fingers, while
others provide flashes of colour when touched. Mind
you, they will all have some impact on your battery
life, but they’re so cool, it might be worth it.
