Kindle Wallpaper Creator

[mmoreira]

Hi guys. I don't know if here is the right place to post this, so, fell free to move or remove if necessary.

I wanted to share here a little tool I wrote to help me create Kindle wallpapers.

The tool was written in C# and requires .NET 2.0 to run. The tool allows you select and crop image areas and saves it on the disk as 8bit grayscale images, that is the format kindle requires. It also allow add border and the kindle wake message overlay.

I made templates for Kindle DX and K3, but you can add new formats simply editing the appconfig included (xml).

Here is a small video showing the tool:


You can download the tool from here (direct link): http://www.vivendoonline.com/download/kwc010.zip

I have plans to release the source code, but first I need to clean it a bit, because it is a really mess and I fell ashamed of releasing it.

Anyway, its not obfuscated, so if you really want to look at sources right now, it's not hard to do.

Well, I really want to here your opinions, if it was useful or not and suggestions.

Best regards,

Matheus.
