Makes sense - I'll try to come up with a few in the next couple of days. I guess drop 'em in a directory like /usr/share/wallpapers? then you can make that the default folder to browse in your prefs UI?<br><br>
For the category picker - how much work would it be to maintain both modes and let the user pick in the prefs?<br><br>And for editing the categories - I found the 'configure' button at the far right - but I don't see how to add or remove categories from there - I was able to assign apps to certain categories, but not edit the list of categories.<br>

Sure, whatever license that allows users to use them and lets me<br>
distribute them with the launcher.<br>
Actually, I just need a few (maybe 2 or 3). You could look at making a small<br>
wallpaper ipk that can be downloaded by the user from your site / <a href="http://opkg.org" target="_blank">opkg.org</a>.<br>
That will give you more freedom and exposure. How about that?<br>

Hah! I don't mind it at all. But maybe it would be better to have them as<br>
another ipk - to prevent offending some people.<br>

As I see it - these are the advantages :-<br>
<br>
* Almost infinite amount of categories<br>
* looks nicer / sexier<br>
<br>
and the disadvantages :-<br>
<br>
* slower<br>
* needs dragging and then a click<br>
* is it just me or the the dragging seems less responsive<br>
* Less Intuitive (maybe just me again)<br>
<br>
I have asked for feedback about the toolbar - but haven't really gotten<br>
much. I'm still not decided one way or the other - but I personally prefer<br>
the combo box / hover drop down - primarily because its faster.<br>

Click on the configuration part of the toolbar (extreme right) and you'll<br>
get the preferences window.<br>

I'm not doing that yet - but I'll add it to my TODO.<br>
Thanks for all the feedback.<br>
