Here’s another from David Lanham that works great if you have a lot of applications. While the paint doesn’t actually appear to move with parallax effect, it still provides a nice backdrop of color for your iPhone. This splash of color found on looks great as both the lock screen and home screen. The heavy rain doesn’t actually move (although how cool would that be), but the color palette and appearance of motion make this a parallax image. This image from the Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight Rises is just a nice graphic image to use as a background. But it’s Halloween so why celebrate? What’s more, the solid orange color provides a nice background for the icons to rest on. Granted, you don’t get much motion from the simple image. We loved this ghost by Mindy Weaver distributed by Icon Factory. And, space provides a simple black background for the app icons to stand out. The wallpaper works nicely with parallax because the earth will move just slightly as you tilt the phone.

The photo of the earth was taken by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on Feb. This wallpaper image was created just for this article from a NASA image. The perceived layers work great with the parallax effect and even without it is a nice wallpaper. Notice the combination of a real textured grassy mound with a digitally generated creature and blurry background.

This one by David Lanham at Studio Ghibli is a perfect example of how to use depth-of-field to create dimension in the image. On the home screen, however, the image can be a bit busy underneath icons. Credit: / Tumblr 2. This is a really interesting wallpaper pattern from that looks a little like a Josef Albers color experiment except with triangles instead of squares.

We’re hoping Apple will soon change this with a system update, because how cool would it be to use your own movie clips or animated gifs as a wallpaper.Ĭheck out our curated selections and simply right-click to download the wallpapers to your PC. Apple has provided several “dynamic” wallpapers in iOS 7 (which are just variations of one graphic in different colors), but you can’t upload your own animated wallpapers just yet. And, if you expecting these to animate we hate to disappoint. Some of them are just really cool wallpapers that are sized correctly and work nicely with the effect. Keep in mind many of these were not created specifically for the parallax effect. In this article, we look at 15 compelling wallpaper backgrounds you can download (in no particular order) that look great with the parallax effect.

In a previous article, we told you how to set up the parallax effect using pre-loaded image from the iOS 7 library or image of your own.

Even with the parallax motion effect turned off, the icons appear to be floating above the background layer. Instead, they rely on the separation of layers. If you noticed, the icons no longer have a drop shadow to give the appearance of depth. The effect gives the appearance of deeper dimension between the icons and wallpaper. Using motion sensors and internal gyroscope, the background appears to be moving as you tilt and rock the iPhone. Apple’s iOS 7 adds a new layer to the architecture of the phone display, allowing the background (referred to as Wallpaper) to be separate from the app icons.
