Muzei update brings design update, Android Wear watchface

Ida Torres

Live wallpaper app Muzei has received a massive update, with version 2.0 receiving a design upgrade to look compatible with the Material Design of Android 5.0 Lollipop. It also now comes with a watch face for your wearable so that your smartwatches running on Android Wear will look just as artsy and creative as your smartphone.

If you're not familiar with Muzei yet, it curates artwork and photos from the Internet to make your smartphone look more beautiful. Version 2.0 brings a few changes in the user interface, including a revised launcher icon and the option to adjust the saturation of your wallpaper image but you can remove the effect you applied when you're in locked screen mode. If the artwork that Muzei gives you is something that you'd like to permanently save, you now have the option to add said images to the "my photos" category in the app, so you can go back to it eventually.

Another major change for the app is the improvement in Android Wear integration. It now has a watch face design, which was contributed by developer Ian Lake. It will also now give you better notification on your wearable when new art is available for the app. You can also now have a full-screen artwork detail view on the smartwatch, all the better to appreciate the beautiful wallpapers they curate for you.

Of course the update has some much needed bug fixes and for the widescreen artworks, a better panning view. You can now update to Muzei 2.0 from the Google Play Store.
