The default Galaxy doesn't use Point sprites with size attenuation. It looks like it is just using plain points with spinning textures in the background. It looks like all the points have the same size.
Galactic Core doesn't use Point sprites either. It looks like it is just using spinning textures. I can't find Galaxy Live Wallpaper on the market. I removed all HTC devices from the compatibility list for my Morphing galaxy live wallpaper, because the HTC users complained that it didn't look like it should. Here are some screenshots, which shows how it looks like: http://www.mobile-visuals.com/mgw.php On Sep 28, 9:54 am, Dusk Jockeys Android Apps <[email protected]> wrote: > What is the Morphing Galaxy Live Wallpaper?
