My favorite superhero! I wish I knew who made the original image as it is fantastic. I found this image on a generic "mobile phone wallpaper" site. It was in landscape with a cool grey grid background. Unfortunately, the image as it was didn't look very good in Glance. So I brought it into Pixlr, added vertical canvas space, cropped it to the 9:16 shown instead of the original 16:9, adjusted the levels to blacken the background and lighten the line art, sampled the new black background, and then filled the added canvas with the sampled background color. Download the image and see how great it looks on your phone for yourself. I was going to upload a shot of the phone, but you need to see it with your own eyes to do it justice. No changes in the app settings; just use the image as is.

Shellhead FTW!

That's Qutub Minar in Delhi, the tallest minaret in India, and a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Just curious. I can find the Glance Background app through the link from WP Central, but when I search the store I cannot for the life of me find the app. Why is that? I'm running a Lumina 928.

You can get it directly from the Nokia beta labs, but they require sign-in... https://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/Glance-Background

There are links and a QR code at the bottom of this WPCentral article... Video: Hands on with Nokia. The QR code took me directly to the app in the store.

Same here. And even more so on my 920. My 1020 glance screen clock is a tad brighter.

My 920 also shows dimmer, but that's okay by me. Bright sucks battery, right?

HI, please help me, I am a new smart phone user, is this app free of cost?? I have lumia 720, I am eager to try this now.

You can go to this article. There's a link and QR code at the bottom to get the app... Video: Hands on with Nokia

You might also want to check out this website. It's the Nokia beta labs. They discuss limitations and tips and tricks, particularly for the 720:

If you're on your WP, no can do.

Just try getting the image onto your PC, and use the post creation tool to upload and attach an image to your post.

There should be an icon that looks like a photo, click that and a prompt should come up. If you can't find it, hover your cursor around the tool, i.e. the one you used to create the post on the PC, and look around.

(Note to the text below: I went to my laptop to attach the pictures.)

I wonder how a picture is attached to this message sent from my Lumia 920.
Anyway I have created a glance picture from one of the most beautiful buildings in the world. One of the seven wonder's, namely the Opera House in Sydney. I love that building and the story about it's construction. A nightmare.
I found the picture on the Internet, changed the color picture to greytone and did the last manipulation in the glance background application.
I love the result.
Now I want to attach pictures, but haven't found the way yet.

Because I'm a huge Pok?mon fan (an addict, to be honest) and my favourite of all time is Weavile (and the pre-evo Sneasel), I decided to keep him on my Glance Background. People would be like: uhuuu how do you have an image+clock without pressing the power button? AND ask me what creature/character was that with the appearance of an evil cat.

It's a win-win for me, no matter what.

I used the slider at,1/4 and colour: multi-color.
*or should I call it neutral/rainbow?

Here is said image: (edit) ok what the... IE on my Windows Phone was not working well with this forum's editor so it moved to top (and keyboard kept auto-closing ). Anyways sorry for the huge image, guys, I didn't look at the dimensions and thought it was smaller :/

Tap on "insert image" that would do the trick.
