Default iPhone jailbroken/cydia users...

I had my own pack of wallpapers published last night for the iPhone. It's only available from Cydia, so you'll need to have a jailbroken iPhone or iPod Touch.

Open Cydia, tap Sections, scroll to and tap Wallpapers. Scroll to the bottom and tap "Mac Wallpapers"

Inside the package are 24 Mac/Apple/iPhone/Windows "inspired" wallpapers thats I've cropped, cut and optimized for the iPhone/iPod Touch lockscreen. All images download as a pack and install directly into your Wallpaper menu (settings > wallpaper > wallpaper) so you don't need any program or app to use them! Download and install, then exit Cydia and go to Settings > Wallpaper > Wallpaper and there they should be

Anyway, I can't test the download, as I already have the images in my Wallpaper sub menu (I installed them manually to check they all worked and look okay, and to optimize the thumbnails for them) so if anyone wants to download them and report back that'd be great

So far they've been on less than a day but already had over 5.5 thousand downloads, and I've not had any error reports!

And for those that use winterboard, I've just created a 17 image background (using the images from the Wallpaper package I created) that will work with Winterboard to randomly cycle thru the 17 images on the springboard, behind your apps, as opposed to the lockscreen.

I've just sent it off for approval so hopefully should be on Cydia soon I've got it running on mine and it looks great

I modified the package and wrote a HTML coding for it that turns it into a 8second randomizer to use with Winterboard as the springboard background. On Cydia now under the name "Mac Backgrounds"
