It's also worth mentioning that Slidewall always starts minimized which is a bit confusing and might make you think it doesn't start - but it does, just look for its icon in the launcher.</div><br /><a name='more'></a><br /><b>Supported live wallpapers:</b><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Live earth wallpaper:</b> using this, Sidewall downloads the sunlight map from www.opentopia.com every 20 minutes and sets it as your wallpaper.
