So our current wallpaper gives this impression because of the dark spot 
in the middle fading to the edges. I looked at NuevoSentido and 
AzulCeniza again. Even though some of those wallpapers have some fading 
in them I think they suffer from this problem a lot less, except for the 
AzulCeniza Agua one.
