Go wallpapers
I took some pictures of the Go board yesterday, and also a couple pics two years ago. Thought I'd share these with everyone in wallpaper format:

Very nice!
Any chance for iPhone proportions?

Re: Go wallpapers
Well, since you're asking, I have an iPhone 4s and an iPad retina screen.
But, seriously don't feel the need to make them for me. Maybe somebody else will chime in.

Yeah, someone could resize the pics I published to iPhone resolution. But 1920x1200 is not enough to resize for iPad retina.
Anyways, I happen to have the same devices as you have, so I played around with cropping for two of the pics:

Re: Go wallpapers
I took this with my iPhone (4). Looks good enough for a phone background, imho...

Re: Go wallpapers
When I get into something, I tend to geek out... Here's another one I made for my netbook. I could post this in higher resolution if anyone is interested.

Go wallpapers
Reviving this old thread with my latest hack... I wrote a small script that reads an SGF file and updates my wallpaper every 20 seconds. Looks like this on my linux netbook:

Re: Go wallpapers
Sure, it's not exactly code to brag about but it works
I'm pretty sure one could optimize it or write something much better. The life-checking function does redundant testing in some conditions, but I haven't bothered to tweak it.
It's perl, uses perlmagick for creating and saving the image and feh to set the background. There was a few comments in there, but they were my notes in swedish so I removed them.
