do you have any specific quirk about wallpapers?

I’ve used plain black as my phone wallpaper for most of its lifetime, because every time I tried a wallpaper I just find them distracting and made icons harder to identify

recently I tried to use some just to not get dragged into the “wow” trend and make my phone feel shiny and novelty again, no need to change

but it’s so hard to find those that don’t trigger my brain and make me want to go back to black!

I mostly feel comfortable with low contrast, abstract, plain or gradient ones so it’s an actual “background” image that looks good but doesn’t compete for my attention, however SEO favours really detailed and complex ones

do you feel the same?

I collect cool looking wallpapers and make an effort to change my phone often. Usually every quarter/season.

It's similar to our house decorations. I'll have something spooky in October. Something with a lot of oranges, reds, and yellows in November and December. Bright and colorful for April-June. Everything else is usually a wild card: cool art, fantasy, landacapes vaporwave, whatever neat stuff I can find that isn't tied to a season or holiday.

I find it helps me to get in the spirit of the sesson and fully appreciate it. Fall really feels like fall. It kind of regulates my sense of the passage of time too.
