16 November Hey all, After three years of development, Wallpaper Engine has now officially left Early Access! The application has changed quite a bit over the years and contains many more features from what I had initially envisioned.

Now Wallpaper Engine comes with a full-fledged editor to create animations from images, two video engines, a Chromium integration with custom features, extensive multi-monitor support and playlists with lots of options. I have even created support programs to handle Steam downtimes and detect numerous generic computer problems. I have set up a simple homepage for Wallpaper Engine as well, check it out here: The Workshop has become huge! It is now the third biggest Workshop on Steam.

Many amazing wallpapers have been submitted and I can't wait to see what all of you will create in the future. A number of new features will be added soon that should allow you to create even more advanced wallpapers. The store page got updated with a and screenshots. It has also finally been translated into the following languages: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish.

Solutions for common issues caused by Steam/Windows Hey all, This patch brings a heap of translation updates and completes a lot of missing strings. We had some proofreading done and filled in the gaps for many languages (Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese-Brazilian, Portuguese-Portugal, Russian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish), more on that. Once again my heartfelt thanks to everyone who has helped translating Wallpaper Engine since the beginning and helped bringing it to people all over the world!

Note that the latest brand new features won't be fully translated yet, this is the curse of the rapid development and releases I'm doing. I prefer this way of working, however, otherwise I would be many, many months behind the current feature set of Wallpaper Engine. Global PropertiesA few special properties can now be applied to all wallpapers and new wallpapers at once, those include alignment, position, volume, mouse parallax and playback rate.

To do this, change them in your current wallpaper to your ideal settings and click on 'Apply to all wallpapers' at the bottom: Here you can now choose which properties should be applied to all wallpapers and you can optionally restore their initial defaults too. Once you've set this up, all new wallpapers will use these properties as defaults as well and using their reset button will revert to your custom values until you restore the initial defaults again. Disabling the StoreI have decided to disable the item store integration in Wallpaper Engine. All in all it just caused confusion and I couldn't make this work to a level that creators, users and me could really be content with. It gave the false impression on the store that there are no free wallpapers available, the Workshop curated voting page confused countless people trying to download wallpapers because it is the first thing displayed there and people bought items without knowing that they need Wallpaper Engine to use them.

Then there is also the issue that I cannot accept video formats due to codec license reasons and that I'm taking a risk with the application format that I can't sustain here either - how would I go about verifying them without having full access to their source code and any dependencies they have - the list goes on. Many of these things come down to Steam not quite being user-friendly enough and I don't have access to change Steam's website. After putting a lot of thought into this, disabling the item store is the only way to solve these issues for me and finally I did not want Wallpaper Engine to continue to be an application which may incur further costs to its users after the initial purchase. Past wallpapers that were purchased are - of course - unaffected, the only change is that the store and curation queue are now invisible. Leaving Early AccessWallpaper Engine is going to leave Early Access soon, this update is getting things ready for that. I've created a new trailer, updated the store page and also got store page translations and screenshot translations now along with a new homepage for Wallpaper Engine.

All that will be set live at the same time the Early Access status is removed. This build has been bumped to version 1.1.0 already, I might release another update if issues pop up or more translation updates come in. Since many people have been asking about price changes, I've finally decided that the price won't be changed after leaving Early Access. Fixes. Changed hide icon hotkey to allow for input.

Background For Mac

Wallpaper Engine aims to deliver an entertaining experience while using as few system resources as possible. You can choose to automatically pause or completely stop the wallpaper while using another application or playing fullscreen (including borderless windowed mode) to not distract or hinder you while playing a game or working.

Many options to tweak quality and performance allow you to make Wallpaper Engine fit your computer perfectly. As a general rule of thumb, 3D, 2D and video based wallpapers will perform best, while websites and applications will require more resources from your system.
