This Wallpaper kicks ASS , now all we need is Audio lol

@MadJoeMak I'm sorry but I haven't been actively working on this wallpaper in a long time. I am not adding any new features anymore and just doing some maintenance at best.

would it be possible to make the slideshow background image change to the beat instead of on a timer?

this would be perfect with a reflection option with adjustable refloction distance!

most accurate one by far ive found

che porque chota cae para arriba los pixeles xd

а?

SO I think this is a wallpaper engine update itself thaht changes the pictures list management. Before, I had "random" option to tick or not when slecting the pictures folder path. Now, picture are showed allays at the same order, and the same and both screen if I run the same preset and same path one both. thank you for this very fast answer ^^

@VIANOR I a mnot 100% sure what you are looking for, but the slideshow for the background is always random I believe. It shuffles the images to create a playlist, then shows them one by one. Once all images have been shown it will reshuffel them all to create a new playlist.

I did not remove any options though as this wallpaper has been considered "finished" for some years now.

Hi @squee, I'm working with Vu meter, the one for what I bought wallpaper engine. In the previous version, "random" was very usefull for me but since few monthes, I can't find how to do it. I'm using it on many display the same time, and random allows me to have differents pics one each displays. Did I miss some thing or did your get this option off ?

Thank you Squee !

oh, i didn't know that, thanks for your help

@DemoSpy .. Video can only be of webm and ogg formats as the wallpaper runs in chromium ( as a webwallpaper ) and those are the 2 video codecs that it comes with. Most likely as those formats don't require licenses.

i tried to do that but i don't see any video i can select

@DemoSpy. You can do so via the settings on the right of the wallpaper browser windows. There is a "Background Video" option in the list pretty much near the top of the wallpaper settings.

how do i add a background video?

@DF x Rudi .. I checked and couldn't reproduce the problem and as such it would be hard to to fix. If you still have the problem feel free to post a response here or create a discussion under the discussion tab at the top of the page and I'll see if I can help you somehow.

@DF x Rudi .. That is weird. It should automatically disappear after 5 or 10 seconds or something like that but then disappear again. When I have more time I can check, but it might be tomorrow or saturday. I'll reply again once I checked with what I found.

Does the rest of the wallpaper still work and react to music despite the overlay being still visible?

when i use the preferred positioning tool, the one where it starts off small in the middle, the coordinates dont dissapear after im finished. is this a bug or is there a way to get rid of the coordinates?

@Toph An update is online and it should be fixed after it have updated the wallpaper. I have no clue what happened.

更新是在线的，应该在更新墙纸后将其修复。 我不知道发生了什么事。

@Toph Thanks for reporting. I will check it out. It works in my local copy, but the publish version indeed is broken.
感谢您的举报。 我会看看。 它可以在我的本地副本中使用，但是发布版本确实损坏了。

5月15号版本，播放声音的时候颗粒不会动了。壁纸右上角会有一片黑色方块
In the version of May 15, the particles won't move when the sound is played. There will be a black square in the top right corner of the wallpaper

the best wallpeper

AMAZING

@新世纪手冲战士 I am not working on this wallpaper anymore except for bug fixes and translations.

Hey bro, I like this theme very much. Can you add other shapes of the spectrum? For example, the ring in the center of the screen. If it can be expanded to be like a music player dial, it can display the music name, and there is an interactive button for switching music, then That's awesome.

There is no option for that and I am not working on this wallpaper anymore except for bug fixes and translations. If you know a bit of HTML and CSS, you could duplicate the wallpaper and insert a foreground image.

Would it be somehow possible to have a foreground image? Like an image that's ontop of the visualizer.

So that way it'd be possible to have cut images whre the bars are only visible inside the image or ontop of certain parts of images if we cut them right.

Ah, nope. The best approach would be to look into merging the 2 video files into one in that case.

@Squee Can I enable multiple videos at once,
So that several videos alternately play on the background

@Duper S not sure what you mean? Could you elaborate?

Hi, great creator, tell me, can I start the queue from the video to the background, if not, will it be available in the next update?

thanks for the quick reply man you rlly are amazing its aight its still super sick and fun to use you a real G SQUEE

Nope. It is a webwallpaper. It is made using html & javascript. And the code isn't the prettiest
anymore.

Hi is there anyway to open this in the editor so I have more options to edit it with?

I resolved it already but thanks!
I didnt notice i moved the video i was using into another Directory

@Ha.Na I have no clue, it should always loop. Any video I tested with just now loops fine. Could you upload the video you are using to wetransfer.com ( no need to sign up ) and share the link here ( or somewhere else that gives a link ) so I get the same result?

Hey, is it possible to loop the Background Video when its set?
Im using one atm but it doesnt loop it

@xd Gegery.. Audio capturing and processing is done within WE itself ( not per wallpaper ). You could check the settings within WE to see if changing the audio device it captures from works. Otherwise check this thread to see if any of it applies to your problems: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/app/431960/discussions/2/1354868867716424310/

And if all else fails, I would suggest creating a thread in the bugs section on WE's community hub. They are pretty helpful and will probably know more about this problem than me.

unfortunately sound responsive doesnt work with surround sound

@NukingPluto Nope. Wouldn't be able to test it myself so haven't implemented it.

is this compatible with ICUE

The way I coded this is not ideal and color rotation is a feature that ruins any optimizations I have done to keep CPU usage low. The color rotation pretty much only works if the main optimization is ignored.

I am sure there are way that could do this with better performance probably using shaders. But that would require to much effort to update this wallpaper to use something like that. Would be better off starting from scratch then.

I love this thing. Kudos to you.

Do you think it would be possible to make the color transitioning more efficient without CPU spikes? Or is this probably already the best that's possible? I especially love the fact that if you turn the cycling feature on/off it doesn't effect the default gradients that are set.

Thanks in advance!

You have to select the audio device within the wallpaper engine settings. WE supplies the info to the wallpaper, but it's configurable in the wallpaper.

What about it picking up my microphone, doesn't seem any of these do that.

what the fuck??! this is fucking awesome!!

@TheOracle102 .. Sorry for the slow reply but I would swear I reacted. Foreground option will probably not make it in. I am just swamped with other things. It is fairly easy to add if you know some html/css. If you are familiar with those let me know.

@My Approves .. Nope. It is a fairly direct reflection of the 64 values per channel I get from WE.

is there a way to change the frequency range in this?
