Hey there fellow Canadians! Do you have an unlocked iPhone operating on a Canadian GSM network? If the answer is yes, then stand proud as you’re a member of an elite group of people who are willing to stop at nothing to talk, text, surf, work and play on the best mobile phone out there! So what better way to show others you’re proud to be part of this distinguished group but to plaster the Canadian flag across your screen for all the world (or just passers-by) to see!
I did some searching and couldn’t find a Canadian flag wallpaper anywhere on the web, so I decided to take matters (and PhotoShop) into my own hands and create one. I figured I’m probably not the only one who has wanted to do this, so I’m making my simple creation available for others to download and enjoy.
So how do you get it on your iPhone? Just right-click (or ctrl+click) the image on the left and choose “Save linked file” (or whatever the equivalent is on your browser/OS of choice) or click the image to open the full size version in a new window and drag it to your Desktop. Then add it to iPhoto and put it in a Photo Album that you have set to sync with your iPhone in iTunes and sync your iPhone to transfer it over. On the iPhone, open Settings–>Wallpaper and choose the image from the appropriate photo album and voila! Windows users, just do the equivalent steps for Windows using your photo organization/sync method of choice.
More advanced users may choose to copy the file directly to the iPhone’s wallpaper folder using scp or sftp. If you fall into this category, then you already know what you’re doing, so you don’t need me to spell it out for you.
Enjoy!
P.S. If you’re wondering how I got the screenshot of the iPhone lock screen, I followed this hint from ZDNet.
