Not sure how to ask this as not very techie. Believe that one of the new features of IOS7 is that if you tilt the iPad then the icons appear to be in 3D.

Doesn't seem to work on mine. Read on another thread (can't now find it) that the wallpaper needs to be resized or something like that.

Not very techie so in simple terms how do I do that?

Hmm, all my wallpapers work fine (if not a little jiggly with the more detailed ones). They are not optimised in any way for the iPad but they work straight away but the only real way to tell is if there is something on the wallpaper for you to see move.

I have attached a couple of screenshots to show you, I have highlighted an area where you can see obvious movement (the gap between the app and the building)......

Also, make sure you have the feature tuned on. To verify, go to your General tab in your Settings app and pick the "Accessibility" line. Then, ensure "Reduce Motion" is turned OFF. In other words, to get the effect, don't have the switch green as in my picture here iI don't really like the effect ... so my Reduce Motion is ON):

Awesome. Hadn't found that one yet. While the parallax and other effects are kind of cool, they don't really add anything to the iPad's usability. I may turn them off myself. I suspect they may also (slightly) decrease battery drain and any lagging issues. Something to be considered on the older models.

Thanks!
