Black Oriental Wallpaper
Eastern decorative tradition on black — lattice work, floral motifs, screens and repeating ornament. Community-shared; register to add your own.
Ornamental patterns are built from fine repeated detail, and repetition makes any flaw obvious: soften the motif and every copy of it across the screen looks soft at once. Native resolution is kept for that reason. These patterns also tile well on a wide monitor because they have no single focal point, which makes them one of the better choices behind a cluttered desktop.

Common questions
Do black wallpapers actually save battery?
On OLED and AMOLED screens, yes. A true-black (#000000) pixel is switched off rather than dimmed, so it draws no power — and with an always-on display that runs all day the difference is measurable. On an LCD screen it saves nothing, because the backlight stays on either way. Not sure which you have? Our OLED test tool fills the screen with pure black: on an OLED it goes completely dark, on an LCD you can still see the backlight glowing grey.
How do I set one as my wallpaper?
Long-press on mobile or right-click on desktop to save the image, then set it from your gallery or system wallpaper settings.
