A bit ago, I quipped about how I don’t really like the new wallpaper feature in iPhone OS 4. For some reason, it doesn’t bug me much on my iPad but on the phone it’s awful, especially the vibrant images that ship by default.

So I made a better one. Originally, I just wanted my black background back but decided to add just a touch of panaché – a little Fireball Gray rising from the bottom. It’s nothing fancy and was all of a few minutes of dinking around in Acorn to get the gradient just right. No logos or icons getting in the way.
