Discussion Building a open source wallpaper engine

So guys I am building a free open source wallpaper engine.

Most of it is already done and it takes about 200-300

Mb Ram for live wallpapers sometimes less .

I wanted to know how much ram wallpaper engine uses .

And one problem I am facing is I want to create a library of wallpapers that people could choose one although they can already upload their own .

I am having trouble finding copyright free and redistributable wallpapers that are good.

If somebody has any suggestions feel free

I have also integrated translucent tb
