Hey Guys,

I am kind of Anal when it comes to home screen design. Since iOS 7 it seems so tough to find a nice background.

Wallpapers of landscapes look good/great on lock screen but are usually too busy for home screen with icons.

What have you guys found that works for you, I was thinking a beautiful landscape on the lock screen and then blur that scene on the home screen...... I have also tried gradient which look good as well.

iOS has made this very tough. Just curious what you guys are using.

I find the stock wallpapers looking good even on the 4S' screen. I think the best wallpaper ever, that has looked good with every iOS version is this one.

iOS 5 had the best wallpapers IMO.

I happen to be a wallpaper addict. I get mine from Zedge. Love being able to change my wallpaper, and yes, very many of them, if not the majority, are landscape. Otherwise they're family pictures.

I've missed that wallpaper. Thanks. Works great with ios9. Added a gaucasion blur effect in pixelmatr too smooth it out. IMG_0168.png
