I had been thinking of doing something like this, but finally got around to it today. It's not perfect, but especially if I continue using this one and fill in the gaps when a new movie comes out, then maybe it'll look better over time. Using Paint, I did what I could to remove the whites around the pictures, but there are still gaps that the blue wouldn't cover.

***edit***

a) that previous one "tiled" itself...I don't know why (but I was thinking of tiling it anyway, and it covered more of the screen this way).
b) I didn't really like all the gaps, so I made a completely new one. Yeah, I have too much time. I like this one, and this is what I'll be using:

Thank you! I like yours, too! :) Um, for the title card one, I saved larger images (ones that I just found and copy/pasted into a folder), and then resized them all to 175 pixels X 100 pixels (I based the size on the smallest image that I had- I made it just a little smaller and resized everything else to the same dimensions) on drpic.com. Then, using Paint, I just copy/pasted them into neat rows!

For the video-cover one, it wasn't tiled in my original Paint document- it ended with TP&tF cover. And I didn't resize those images- I got them from Amazon and used them as is, which added to the gap problem. Had I resized them initially, it would have looked better. But, same process- just copy/pasted them into rows in Paint.

Dutch actress Maryam Hassouni during an interview. No fancy make-up, no special outfit, no posing. Just a close-up of a natural beauty.

:lol: Haha, I never thought of it that way, of her as monitoring my online behaviour. I'll have to try extra hard to stay on appropriate websites now. I would not want Nala's disapproval lol.

Sorry to drag up a topic that hasn't been touched in 5 months, but I was really too excited by my current wallpaper I just had to show it off :)

And yes, that is all the icons I ever have on my desktop.

Thanks! The scenes in MP where she's flying are definitely my favorites, so I couldn't resist.

SmartAleck25, I updated my iPod Touch with the 4.0 software and I can't seem to find where I can change the background. That was the only thing that I really wanted from the update and I can't seem to make it work. How did you change the background?

Did you already have a wallpaper set before the update? Cause I did, and it just popped up. I changed it to this one though. You have to go to Settings>Wallpaper>"the image that's your wallpaper right now>Saved Photos or Wallpaper. Click the image you want as your wallpaper, adjust the image the way you want to view it, click set, set both. That should work.

No, I didn't have a wallpaper before the update. Thanks, I'll try that and see if it works! :D
