Get Material this Wallpaper Wednesday

You don't have to pull out a complex new theme like Spider-Man to bring a breath of fresh air to your home screen. A new wallpaper can do wonders, and launchers like Action Launcher can re-theme your entire home screen around a good wallpaper. In our effort to help brighten your device — and maybe your day — we're compiling some wallpapers for you to try out.

If you've got a wallpaper you use everywhere, share it in the comments below! We're always looking for something new. Now get your wallpaper picker ready and see what's in store this week.

Midnight City by Charlie Henson

Seattle in moonlight

This Seattle cityscape may be on the edge of Material Design, it's a slick style with a seductively dark color scheme and some sweet light effects at play. And just check out that reflection on the bay!

Night Plane by Jason Zigrino

Wake up somewhere new

"Come fly with me, let's fly, let's fly away…" This night scene, inspired by the flight cards in Google Now, just makes me wanna pack and overnight bag and jet off to someplace exciting and fun. Disneyland, anyone?

Lines by Shane Wignall

Simple lines, endless possibilities

Simple name for a simple wallpaper that plays well on screens large and small. It almost reminds me of a present that's about to be unwrapped. And the bright blue contrasting with the two tones of grey makes this a wallpaper that fits right in with your business attire or something more flashy for a night out on the town.

Teal Paper by ShiningWingPony

Under the sea... of paper

This cool-colored wallpaper may be a homage, but the execution is fabulous and the tones here are and mesh well with a large variety of home screens and icons. Also, green, purple, and blues? Anyone else seeing a Little Mermaid vibe going here? Just me? Okay, then...
