Wallpaper Engine - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Alec Meer)

The Steam charts are reliably staid much of the time – ever-present Counter-Strikes and GTAs, whatever the multiplayer survival flavour of the month is, and a big new release if there was one. This week brought a true oddity, however: Wallpaper Engine. It’s a desktop wallpaper tool, and it’s outselling almost everything else on Steam. Times, they are a changin’.

So, what is this thing, and why would an estimated (via SteamSpy; not necessarily accurate, of course) three quarters of a million people be using it instead of just, y’know, setting a desktop wallpaper? And, of course, is this 3/$4 application any good? The finest minds in Christendom gathered to investigate – and to show off the best and worst animated wallpapers they found for it. … [visit site to read more]

Make sure to fully close Wallpaper Engine when updating. If you are having issues, try verifying the files over Steam first.

Hey all,

Another small update for Wallpaper Engine has been released that is focused on fixing some issues that have come up:

The web engine (CEF/Chromium) has been updated to the latest version. This should fix loading of certain web pages and some DPI scaling related issues (the web wallpaper not being fullscreen or not registering clicks). If you are still having these problems, please let me know. Automatic pausing when Microsoft Edge is fullscreen, i.e. playing a video, should be fixed too.

I replaced the shimmering particles wallpaper with a new dynamic version that allows color changing and is designed to support stretching over three monitors (resolution of 5760 x 1080).



The Windows color adjustment on Windows 10 can now additionally be configured to overwrite the Windows settings for title/task bar colors. You can choose to keep the current Windows settings or overwrite them.



The tag "multi-monitor optimized" is gone now, because it was almost exclusively being abused. A new tag was added, "Unspecified", which is the default genre. The tag input control has also been replaced with a simple drop down menu, to reduce tag abuse:



I also got in touch with EVGA about excluding Wallpaper Engine from EVGA Precision X so the crashing issues when both applications are running should be gone with their next update.



If everything goes as planned, the next update will finally introduce the playlist/random feature in about 2 to 3 weeks.

Cheers,
Kristjan


Fixes
  • Fixed Traditional Chinese flag.
  • Potentially fixed Edge fullscreen not pausing videos.
  • Potentially fixed a audio recording crash if an application in exclusive mode is started.
  • Fixed web wallpaper not covering the entire monitor on some systems.
  • Fixed web wallpaper clicking on some systems (I hope).
  • Fixed certain web pages not loading by updating CEF.

Changes
  • Made Windows color adjustment work without overriding the taskbar/title bar color settings.
  • Made it possible for web wallpapers to read the application language from the 'language' property.
  • Replaced shimmering particles wallpaper with a dynamic scene that supports coloring and stretching over triple screens.
  • Added a warning message when the user attempts to play video on Windows N with missing video components (prompts to install the Media Feature Pack).
  • Changed tags input into a drop down.
  • Removed Multi-Monitor tag, add Unspecified tag.
  • Added a CEF file check that warns the user when Steam only partially updated the application (which leads to problems).

Make sure to fully close Wallpaper Engine when updating. If you are having issues, try verifying the files over Steam first.

Hey all,

I've released a small patch that adds a notice about acceptable content for Workshop, full support for 64-bit during auto start and launching from Steam and a huge number of new translations. Thank you everyone who has helped with those!

This notice will be shown when you open the editor, to make it clearer what is accepted on Workshop and what isn't. These rules are pretty much the same for any Workshop on Steam. Workshops have to be suitable for minors, too, so nudity and violence is not allowed, while it is allowed on some games on Steam (which are then rated M or A).



You can now use the 64-bit version of Wallpaper Engine. To switch, close Wallpaper Engine and start it over Steam, while choosing the 64-bit version there. If you configure auto start with this version running, it will then also use the 64-bit version during auto start.



A bunch of new Workshop tags have been added, including "CGI, Cyberpunk, Landscape, Medieval, MMD, Pixel art, Relaxing, Retro". It is now also required to specify at least one tag when uploading your submission. I think most cases should be covered, but if you think there are some urgent tags missing, make sure to let me know. The tags in the editor also have translations now, next to the original English version shown on Workshop.



Full changelog:

Additions
  • Added support for 64 bit auto start and Steam launcher.
  • Added localization for Swedish.
  • Added localization for Traditional Chinese.
  • Added localization for Spanish.
  • Added localization for Lithuanian.
  • Added localization for Japanese.
  • Added localization for Thai.
  • Added localization for Czech.
  • Added localization for French.
  • Added localization for Korean.
  • Added localization for Finnish.
  • Added a warning if run on a system that falls below the minimum OS requirements.
  • Added a modal to the editor that informs about the Workshop rules.
  • Added a quick link for the editor to the browse window.
  • Localized the tags in the editor.
  • Added new tags: CGI, Cyberpunk, Landscape, Medieval, MMD, Pixel art, Relaxing, Retro.

Changes
  • Changed the publish process to require at least one genre tag being set.
  • Changed the tag auto-complete box to show all suggestions when clicking.

Fixes
  • Fixed web wallpaper mouse position being incorrect with varying DPI settings.
  • Fixed image deselection in wallpaper properties.
  • Potentially fixed the "startup error code 3" issue. Now Wallpaper Engine will continue loading in this case and not quit.
  • Attempted to fix a crash that occured if an external application closed the wallpaper windows (for videos).
  • Attempted to fix a crash in the editor that occured if it was used without Steam running.

Hello everyone,

A new patch for Wallpaper Engine has just been released that should address various small issues and it also introduces two new features: Desktop icon opacity and a Workshop cache, so you can continue to browse through all subscribed wallpapers even without Steam running.

The Icon opacity can be adjusted in the options for results such as these:



The Steam status is now indicated in the browser, to make it more obvious what's going on behind the scenes:



The browser still needs to be opened once while Steam is running to actually create the cache data, however.


A new experimental feature allows you to preload entire wallpaper videos into memory, to prevent your disk from being worn out due to streaming. Since the 64bit executable is still not fully used (and generally can occupy a lot more unnecessary memory) this feature may crash the application if you have multiple monitors and attempt to preload GBs of video data for wallpapers.



The Steam game language will now actually be used if you have chosen the "default" language setting and the video error notification includes a click callback that will bring users directly to the FAQ. This will hopefully make it easier for everyone to debug recurring problems like video tearing/black screens on hybrid GPU systems.

The next big feature that I intend to implement is support for random wallpapers/shuffling/playlists. This should be ready in Q1 2017, possibly end of January.

As usual, leave a comment, visit the bugs forum http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/1/ or let me know via e-mail ( wallpaperengine@gmail.com ) if you're having problems or questions!

Cheers,
Kristjan

  • Added click callback to video error message which will open the FAQ thread.
  • Added better tray advertisement on initial run.
  • Added icon opacity slider to the options.
  • Attempted to fix desktop staying see-through after Wallpaper Engine was closed (which caused issues when alt-tabbing from borderless fullscreen games).
  • Made web wallpaper process per-monitor DPI aware.
  • Changed default video volume to 50%.
  • Added warning modal if the app is run on an OS older than Win 7.
  • Added FAQ link to context menu.
  • Added tags "audio responsive" (automatically set) and "multi-monitor optimized" (manually set).
  • Improved GIF animation time-refresh sync.
  • Added screen resize fallback.
  • Set CEF to ignore WebGL blacklist.
  • Reworked editor help dialog to simply link to tutorials.

  • Added translations for Persian.
  • Added translations for Russian.
  • Added translations for Swedish.
  • Added translations for Simplified Chinese.
  • Added translations for Turkish.

Make sure to fully close Wallpaper Engine when updating. If you are having issues, try verifying the files over Steam first.

Hey all,

This patch adds proper support for animated GIFs and WebMs along with a system to localize the entire UI of Wallpaper Engine! If you want to help with localization, you can get the necessary instructions from here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/7/215439774876424597/ any help with translations is welcome!

You can now load GIFs into Wallpaper Engine and also easily share them on Workshop. Previously, a hidden trick existed to open a GIF as a wallpaper, but it resulted in high CPU usage, so I didn't make it official. The new system is using a custom implementation (instead of leveraging CEF/Chromium) that basically converts GIFs into sprite sheets. CPU, RAM and GPU load will be minimal with this system and a lot better than the old implementation.

On top of that, you can tweak the speed of the GIF in the browser and the scheme (window) color is derived from a GIF automatically to make things easier!



When importing a GIF through the editor, getting it ready for Workshop, you can also control how the GIF is rendered and apply some noise reduction, which can come in handy for GIFs that suffer from notable dithering:



To get started on pushing GIFs, you can check out this new guide:

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=805078680

Some cool GIFs that you can check out locally:



WebMs can now be pushed to Workshop and also loaded directly from a file - along with speed and volume options just as other videos! However WebMs will be played through CEF/Chromium, which means they will take more resources and processing power than mp4s.






The translation system recognizes all of Steams languages and I have preemptively added all of them. You will need to choose the language in settings/general to switch it:



Right now there are already a lot of German and Polish translations and a few strings in Simplified Chinese (thanks to Lyvelion and 伊织). Like mentioned before, if you want to help translate anything, check out the instructions here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/7/215439774876424597/

Properties of wallpapers will no longer need to be reset now, if the creator has changed them, and all scenes also automatically received a tweakable playback rate property with this update!


New Features
  • Added native support for GIFs through sprite sheets in scenes.
  • Added native support for WebM.
  • Added scene playback rate property.
  • Added new template for GIFs with various import options.
  • Added support for GIF and WebM through 'Open from file'.
  • Implemented translation system for core application and UI.
  • Added German and Polish translations for all UI windows except editor and some Simplified Chinese strings in various locations.
  • Added combo box to switch the language of the UI.

Fixes
  • Fixed wallpapers in browser being switched when arrow keys are pressed although another control is highlighted.
  • Fixed web wallpapers not saving cookies and JS local storage data.
  • Fixed web wallpapers not loading plugins (e.g. Flash).
  • Fixed web path imports with ' in the filename.
  • Fixed property import controls being hidden in 'small mode'.
  • Fixed app wallpapers crashing when using the 64bit executable.
  • Fixed URL encoding for file paths sent to web wallpapers.
  • Fixed web wallpapers turning white immediately on load due to Steam sending an unnormalized installation path.
  • Fixed mouse sluggishness in editor when importing an app wallpaper.
  • Changed how wallpaper properties are saved. Now only the values are saved, so updating the properties of a wallpaper does no longer require users to manually reset them.
  • Fixed overlapping wallpaper titles in browser.
  • Fixed a potential crash when an invalid wallpaper file was opened.


The next update will include localization support for the editor window and a "support & troubleshoot" dialog. This is meant to mitigate some of the recurring problems, like audio recording issues with the Razer headsets or Nvidia Optimus. Non-english speaking users are also dependent on a translated version of the solutions to these issues.

As usual, leave a comment, visit the bugs forum http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/1/ or let me know via e-mail ( wallpaperengine@gmail.com ) if you're having problems or questions!

Make sure to fully close Wallpaper Engine when updating. If you're having issues, try verifying the files over Steam first.

Hey all,

A new update for Wallpaper Engine has just been released, adding a bunch of new features, that improve the whole experience, and fixes for a few bugs. Read on to get a quick overview about what's new:


The browser allows you to filter your installed wallpapers more precisely now:



It also remembers all URLs and local files that you previously opened (of course you can also easily remove these again afterwards!):



A favorite button allows you to instantly fave wallpapers right from the browser and the file size of each file can be seen now as well:





Multi-monitor systems can now pause maximized or fullscreen wallpapers per monitor, which is the new default behavior. You can still go back to the old behavior in the options though:



Recent wallpapers can be instantly switched to from the tray menu instead of having to open the browser:



And web wallpapers can make use of a new property control for combo boxes:





Last but not least the crash handler has been improved to instantly scan for troublesome hooks in the application that are known to crash or corrupt Wallpaper Engine, which some users have suffered from. So if a potential culprit has been found, you might be able to fix the crash instantly instead of having to send me the .mdmp file and waiting for me to check it out, simply by excluding Wallpaper Engine from the hooking application. The web wallpaper process was also not handling crashes at all previously, which has been fixed now. So if your web wallpapers keep turning white, you should get a message and a crash dump now.





Complete changelog:

New Features
  • Added various filter options for wallpapers into browser.
  • Added per monitor pause option (maximized and fullscreen) to multi-monitor systems and made it the default.
  • Made wallpapers unpause while Aero Peek is active.
  • Added sort by update date and file size to browser.
  • Added file size to wallpaper details in browser.
  • Added list of recent wallpapers to tray context menu.
  • Persisted all local files and URLs to config.
  • Added favorite button to browser.
  • Added combo box control to wallpaper properties.
  • Added hook detection to crash handler to help the user fixing crashes more quickly.

Fixes
  • Fixed audio processing not keeping up with higher framerates.
  • Fixed wallpaper config not saving wallpapers of inactive monitors.
  • Fixed requestAnimationFrame not keeping up with high framerates.
  • Fixed web wallpaper not generating mini dumps when it crashes.
