New wallpaper in process! How it translates to the iPad and the Mac is anybody’s guess yet. That’s part of the fun though! 😂 #anime #totoro #WallarooApp

Took most of the day but finally figured out the Mac version of my Totorro wallpaper. Only the iPad to go now.

This is why #WallarooApp kicks serious ass BTW. Show me another wallpaper app in the App Store that has custom layouts tailored for each platform. 💪

Made a creepy Silence of the Lambs wallpaper. Coming this spooky season to #WallarooApp 👻

Yay for closure! Finally released my Silence of the Lambs wall today as our monthly freebie in Wallaroo and on Patreon. There are a few color and pattern variants in this release so be sure to swipe in Wallaroo to see them all. 🦋

There’s lots more great spooky wallpapers coming in the weeks ahead so stay tuned! Now if you’ll excuse me I’ve got to run, I’m having an old friend for dinner. 🍽️

@gedeonm How does it pair with a nice Chianti?

@dcrooks it rubs the wallpaper on its screen or else it gets the hose again.

😱

@gedeonm If it’s as scary as last year’s… 😬
@gedeonm hey do y’all have archives of all the amazing Halloween home pages IF made over the years? The pixel art stuff was always so much fun
@andrewhinton no, we really should but not the webpage designs themselves. Might be able to find them via the way back machine 🤔
@gedeonm I didn’t think to look! I’ll see.
@gedeonm sadly it didn’t seem to capture a lot of the animated graphics — probably limitations in how they scraped back then
Oh well, some things are just going to be great memories and that is ok! 👍

@andrewhinton if you are after just the factory animations, yes, we have them archived! You can find them here, including a directory of of just the Halloween ones :-)

@gedeonm oh fantastic! I’m late getting back to mentions here, sorry I missed this
@gedeonm I hope you were listening to Greenskeepers while you made it (; https://youtu.be/Jm86I_kezVY

@gedeonm I don’t know if there are others but I certainly like #WallarooApp and use it for almost all of my wallpapers… until the hockey season and then I use some Vegas Golden Knights wallpapers.
@gedeonm pretty much all other wallpaper apps/sites/whatever neglect the iPad.

My new Totoro wallpaper is finally out! This one was a labor of love to be sure but it was so much fun to create. Comes with light (day) and dark (night) versions. If you’re a Studio Ghibli fan you’re gonna enjoy this one. 🥰

Wallaroo

A sincere thanks to everyone who’s boosted our posts about #WallarooApp this past week. Downloads are up quite a bit (see graph) and we’ve had a bunch of new subscribers too.

It’s gratifying that even if we don’t have millions of YouTube viewers, great people like you care enough about our work to support it via sharing, great App Store reviews and your wallets. We’re forever grateful. Thank you. 🖖

@gedeonm nothing like a nice own goal from a celebrity.

@gedeonm I don’t know when I’m gonna switch from the latest Tron wallpaper! It’s so good! That said, that’s the thing about Wallaroo, I always say the same thing and then you release another banger to spice up my devices again 😅

What I am trying to say, how would I not boost Wallaroo if it’s awesome and fairly priced.

@jorgesalvador That’s about the best compliment an artist could ever hope for, can’t say thanks enough. Speaking of bangers, wait till you see the spooky wallpapers we have in store for October! 👻 thanks again.
@gedeonm There is absolutely no way that I would want to leave you guys when you produce stuff like this. Thank you do much for all your hard work!

@gedeonm

Ooooh I saw https://mastodon.social/@gedeonm/113190450767703499 and then https://apps.iconfactory.com/ and I have a new favourite company (pls let them not use slave labor, endorse queerphobes, or owt else pls pls pls)

(… you lot are decent, right? You don’t hate people for random traits they didn’t choose? Like, I’m just cagey af in the year of somebody’s lord 2024)

@MxVerda I’d like to think we’re pretty decent. ☺️ We’ve been making Mac / iOS software for 25+ years, if we were shady I think people would say so. Appreciate your enthusiasm and support, we rely on good word of mouth and doing right by our customers. Great to meet you. 🖖
@gedeonm @MxVerda every day someone is born who doesn’t know about Icon Factory
@jason @MxVerda It’s totally wild to know that honestly. Once you’ve been doing what you’re doing for 20+ years you figure there’s no new customers out there. So glad to know that’s completely incorrect! 😀
@gedeonm @jason wait what? 20 YEARS?!
@MxVerda @jason 2026 will be the Iconfactory’s 30th anniversary. This was from 2016: https://iconfactory.com/20years/

@gedeonm And also your App Privacy section is exactly how it should be... unlike a certain well-known YouTuber's new app.
@gedeonm It’s a real shame that you don’t have quite the reach of an MKBHD to be able to push what has always been a vastly superior product.
@callme_jc Appreciate you saying that. We’ve always relied on the word of mouth of our users to try and get the message out about our apps. One of the reasons why App Store reviews are so important. Appreciate your kind words and support!
@gedeonm Genuine question: Why isn't there an android version or a pixel version?
@jeffeb3 None of use Android devices, never have. We also don’t use Windows. We design for what we know.
@gedeonm @Iconfactory love the vibrancy and contrasts - wallpapers like this are on my constant Wallaroo rotation! <3
@gedeonm @Iconfactory seeing how there's been a few new wallpapers since - would I be correct in assuming lovely Totoro didn't make the cut after all? 
@heals Nope, it’s coming in August! Stay tuned.
