AAQR Stock Ticker Lite LWP (U)

This live wallpaper uses your existing wallpaper, and overlays a stock ticker on top of it.

The problem is the lite versions only gives you DJIA, NASDAQ, and S&P500. it won't let you add individual stocks. You also can't adjust the vertical offset of the ticker (i.e. where vertically you want it on the screen.

AAQR: WP+Fractal Clock (U)

There was a SLEW of the "clock as live wallpaper" LWPs that appeared recently, seemingly inspired by WinPhone7. Here's another one called WP+Fractal Clock

The text part of the clock is simple text-style clock and calendar. The interesting part is the analog clock, which uses fractal technique to draw the hands so it looks more... tree-like. However, it's low-contrast and not very obvious.

AAQR: Symphony of Colors LWP

Symphony of Colors is an odd one. It is derived from lines, but feels like a randomly moving "curtain" that actually somewhat reacts to your screen touches and drags. You can choose different palettes. It is simple, yet it looks surprisingly good.

AAQR: Desktop Visualizer

Desktop Visualizer is an app that lets you replace your app icon with ANY picture or icon, in effect. (What it really does is it replaces the app icon with a "shortcut" with your picture, but close enough). This allow you to basically customize your desktop to almost any way you want.

AAQR: Paper Toss

Image via WikipediaPaper Toss is one of those games that are simple, but repetitive enough to keep playing.

The idea is simple: use the "flick" on screen to toss a wad of paper into a trash can. The catch is... there is a fan, and the trash can moves after each shot. How many hits can you make in a row?

AAQR: Fishbowl LWP (U)

Fishbowl LWP basically have 2 childishly drawn "fish" and some bubbles, moving a bit. It's just... doh.

You can choose different backgrounds, but the fish isn't that well animated. Honest. There are some subtle animations... that are so subtle, I missed them as I didn't see them right away. Few others would have noticed.
