- Update: Antialiased flag edges
- Bug Fix: Compatibility detection
This update makes the flag mesh a lot cleaner with the background. No more crawling ants effect along the outside edge! It looks a lot nicer side by side with the old one... in fact, maybe I should take new screenshots.
The bug fix is for the HowTo window, which is improperly detecting that Android 3.0 isn't compatible with live wallpapers. The logic should handle things better now. This is the case with basically all of our products, and it'll get fixed gradually over the next few weeks as updates roll out.

Dynamic Paint Live Wallpaper v1.05
- New Feature: Pref for evaporation speed!
- Update: New defaults for background & blend mode
- Bug Fix: More consistent behavior between handsets
The bulk of the work here went into tracking down a behavior difference between PowerVR based handsets and Snapdragon based ones. This look quite a while and will probably turn into a post of its own. It's been dealt with now, and in the process we created a user preference for paint evaporation speed. You can even turn it all the way down to nothing if you'd like!
Reading some of the feedback, we adjusted a few of the default values as well. While the wood background shows off the fluid simulation well, people don't seem to like it as much as the broken brick, so that one's the default again. Likewise the default blend type is now additive, which means the paints don't mix colors as well but they do seem to integrate with the background more smoothly.

Aquarium Live Wallpaper v2.45
- Update: Four new fish!
- Update: Toy submarine!
Nothing world shaking here, but a few more types of fish and toys to round out your aquarium with. I really dig the submarine, and it bobs in place too!

KF Flames Live Wallpaper v1.11
- Bug Fix: Will attempt to refresh custom background image if it isn't initially found
This is the same issue that was fixed in Hearts a little while ago. Basically, if the SD card isn't available but your custom background is located there, it will periodically try to reload it after the fact. This attempt will happen whenever the wallpaper becomes active (basically any time you return to your home screen from somewhere).

EU Flags Live Wallpaper v1.25
- New Feature: Six more flags!
People always ask for additional flags here, so I figured I'd stretch the definition of European as far as possible and expand the list to everything considered continental Europe. This means six additional country flags are now included: Azerbaijan, Balarus, Kazakhstan, Georgia, Moldova, and Russia.
The list is pretty substantial at this point, being 44 countries plus the EU flag.

Silhouette Live Wallpaper v1.55
- Bug Fix: Pixelated appearance after a long period on some handsets
This is a relatively simple fix to something that's been around for a while. Basically, the moving clouds would gradually go so far left/right from where they started, that the 3D hardware would start losing accuracy, and you'd get very boxy looking textures. This takes quite a while to happen but depending on the handset could get pretty ugly.
It's a pretty easy problem to fix, just modulus the offset periodically so the numbers never get that large. Typically I do that in these cases, but apparently had missed it on Silhouette. Sorry folks!
