New tools and conferences for iOS developers
June is for the Devs! 👨💻
As WWDC approaches, I offered Christian aka wallpaper wizard to create something for developers.
Christian came up with the idea that it would be fun to play around with syntax highlighting. Rather than generate something a bit more intricate with AI, he made 59 gradient wallpapers blending the editor background color and the accent color of various code elements.
These 5 collections are a tribute to 5 common source editor themes—Default Dark, Default Light, Classic Dark, Classic Light, and of course, Midnight.
With a resolution of 6000x6000 pixels, these FREE wallpapers can be used across your desktop, tablet, or phone.
Pro Tip from Christian: Create an album of your favorite gradients and set your wallpaper to shuffle for a pleasant surprise. On my iPhone, I have the Default Dark collection shuffling every time I lock my phone.
