Transparent Wallpaper

See your surroundings through the screen

Transparent Wallpaper turns your Android display into a live view from the device camera. Instead of showing a fixed image, the wallpaper displays what is behind the phone, creating the impression that the screen is see-through. It suits people who want an unusual home-screen background rather than a conventional photo, colour, or pattern.

How it works

Open the app, choose the camera view you want to use, and preview the result as a live wallpaper. You can select the front or rear camera, then confirm the wallpaper choice through Android’s wallpaper controls. Once active, the camera feed remains visible behind your icons and other home-screen elements.

A simple personalization tool

• Uses the phone camera to produce a transparent-screen effect.
• Offers a choice between the front and rear cameras.
• Provides a preview before the live wallpaper is applied.
• Belongs to the Personalization category.
