New Kittsy tutorial. Dynamic background image with rotation.

It's been a few months but another tutorial has been added to www.kittsy.co.uk. http://kittsy.co.uk/change-background-image-based-on-orientation/ Inspired by Sherry's earlier post. A few lines of code will let you have a different image for landscape or portrait, on iPhone or iPad. You will have to mod some core files, it's done in my style and is probably a lot longer than it needs to be enjoy. Feel free to follow me on twitter @theKittsy I have my last exam on Thursday so expect a lot more tutorials and useful plugins.

Give the man more ... Beer! :-) No worries ... You'll be brilliant on the exams! Tutorial request ... Background images change on a timer delay. Just like those automatic slideshows. This would be the background for the good old Menu type of screens: tables, buttons, Tumblr, etc. Thanks for re-starting the great tutorials! -- Niraj

You witnessed first hand that beer drives the machine. I'm out tonight to celebrate with the Blue Moons Ian@Buzztouch introduced me too. That is not difficult at all, only that you would have to hardcode an array of images and loop through.

I bought you a beer the other day, and now this pops up. Karma in it's best representation. Thanks Kittsy! :) Cheers! -- Smug Having met you now, when I'm reading your tutorial I've got this 'Kittsy voice' going on in my head reading it to me... rather cool, and a bit odd all at the same time, lol! ('Androidesque'.... Bwahahahahaha!)

Nice Kittsy, thank you. Hey, I just purchased your Buzz Carousel plugin. Can I count that as buying you a well deserved beer? Keep up the great work! Dave

Thanks Kitts' I second Niraj's request. animationImageView does a great job rotating through background images, but there seems to be no "crossDessolve" or "fade" or "other" transitions to work with.
