Gotta pick a black background and create a badass Batman wallpaper!

Is it possible to get some background from old games, sprite based figthing games for example. Or wont that look good due to the lower resolution?
Great thread by the way!

My contribution:
Is the height for the black bar accurate? I would love to get a template for the bar.
oh goodness it really does! xD
Random stuff:
I'm using this one right now. It looks so friggin' cool on my lock screen, what an awesome image.
Yes it's. Template was posted here from other forum http://www.mediafire.com/?91a13rn4an74uou Credited by ZerosevEx

Just tried a few alpha effects with semi transparent stuff, but unfortunately it just sets it opaque if >50% opacity and fully transparent for <50%. Perhaps that was expecting too much though!
EDIT: Just tried transparent start screen, this makes me think that allowing transparent backgrounds was actually an accident on Sony's part, I hope they don't remove it...
EDIT2Also, I love the way that transparent backgrounds turn into silhouettes when you swipe to a different page!)

But really, I'm so happy about that transparent bg discovery.

Nice to see you are able to change the wallpaper at the launch of the system. I remember when I bought my launch PSP there was no way to change the wallpaper to your own image, but eventually it was possible with custom firmware, then later on Sony implemented it.
Still debating if a Vita is worth it just for the new Lumines. I was playing the first one on my PSP today and it is looking a little dated. Funny, because I remember being so blown away with the PSP screen and Lumines a few years ago. I think the screen on my Galaxy S spoiled me a bit. Maybe I can find one to try in store.

Some observations:
PNG transparency seems to be 1-bit - on or off - so you can't do partial transparency and you won't get nice smooth edges on things.
If you want to trip balls, set a transparent PNG as your home screen and then unlock your Vita. CRAZY STUFF HAPPENS.
PNGs don't seem to be recompressed like JPGs do. So if you want full quality backgrounds, use PNGs.
EDIT: Ninja'd by several.

Thanks! I stole the image though, removed the background and extended the buildings...
Here's the final result (need to fix some of the white dots on the ears and neck):
EDIT: Fixed the white dots:
P.S. You were freaking fast at making all those wallpapers! Lock screen should be San Andreas logo!

It's too bad the image goes black when you transition from one transparent background to another. If you go from a transparent image to a screen with no image it fades correctly. Hopefully this gets fixed down the road.

Upload them in imgur. Dropbox might be the reason.
Doesn't imgur compress images a lot though?
