Abstract: A mobile device user interface typically presents a static home screen that allows a user to initiate applications so that they may view and consume content. The present disclosure provides systems and methods for providing content as well as contextual functionality more fluidly on mobile devices. A live wallpaper may be instantiated on mobile devices such that a background layer presented as part of a home screen is closely coupled to associated applications. Both the background layer and the associated applications may provide content and contextual functionality based on data and metadata received from servers external to the mobile devices, leading to a highly dynamic and engaging experience.
