ententeak: Regarding the 2017 comment on dual screen bug under "stretch single wallpaper" mode, I've finally got a dual monitor set up, but I cannot reproduce the error, perhaps because of the new WE version. Therefore, I am closing https://github.com/drelatgithub/HexagonWallpaper/issues/3 but feel free to reopen it if the problem persists.

@Dguto9: Thank you for your fixes! It is now incorporated in the new release.
Dguto9 4 Aug, 2022 @ 7:35pm 
I have made a couple more changes to the repository now - I added a CSS filter to apply a slight bit of contrast to the image as a whole, which removes the remnant lines. I also modified the previous fix so that it only takes place with a custom background. Increasing the fade rate helps as well with custom background. Some ideas that might further solve it include using a color matrix to change the black point rather than changing contrast and making contrast only apply when custom image is off.

To clarify - the fix is not necessarily "temporary", it just requires finer tuning and a bit more time before it will be elegant. Changes can be seen on line 295.

Hey, I found interest in this and dug through the code. I found a temporary fix for the fading issue, but I think with better tuning it could work better. It seemed to be due to rounding inaccuracies. See the readme for more details. Thanks for making this cool wallpaper! https://github.com/Dguto9/Hexagon-Wallpaper

sorry not supported by android devices
temaimk 10 May, 2022 @ 6:04am 
I can't say because he writes that the type of wallpaper is not confirmed by android devices

temaimk: I've just accepted the addendum. Is the mobile access available now?

So I'm having an issue with the audio responsiveness with an optical cable speaker. I've made sure wallpaper engine is switched to my optical audio source and other wallpapers seem to be detecting it but not this one sadly. any ideas what I can do?

I did notice after adjusting the offset to X 201 Y 2, that the effect now happens above the mouse actual position.
Zeak 2 Mar, 2022 @ 1:26am 
All good, I ended up changing to a different background picture that works really well with it after adjusting the X Y offset.

@Zeak Thanks for your feedback! The leftover trace with custom background was a known issue and I was not able to resolve it. I might take a look if I have time.
Zeak 10 Feb, 2022 @ 9:29pm 
Hi, I am not sure if you are still working on this project.
where ever the mouse has been leaves a left over fade and not just when music is playing.

@Vahrael Do you mean alternating between two colors? I can take a look into this when I have time.
Vahrael 28 Oct, 2021 @ 10:33am 
Hi,
would it be possible to add 2 color support?
Currently there is only all colors or only one color..
Thank you for your great work!

It would be very useful to have a slider for sound sensitivity as well as live audio level to compare (sorry for my bad english)

My favorite Wallpaper so far :)

Thanks!

One request, I wish we had a bit more options when it came to audio responsiveness.

Added to my COLLECTION! Show some love! 🍄🦌🎅🍀🌈👽🌌🦄❤️

THE BEST audio responsive wallpaper I've used so far.
I highly recommend listening to these songs with this wallpaper:
Rammstein-Radio
Post malone-Rockstar
Eminem-Till I collapse
Oh, and do it in the dark! You will enjoy it more!

ZZCOOL: Does the grey background help? Currently the pattern is due to that the dimming algorithm cannot further dim the very dark grey color. The workaround is to make the background greyish as well, so the pattern is expected to go away with that option turned on.
ZZCOOL 14 Dec, 2018 @ 1:12am 
can you add an option to get rid of the honeycomb pattern when theres no light
fucat 27 Nov, 2018 @ 5:16am 
is it me or it really just takes a lot of CPU usage ?
Seps 19 Sep, 2018 @ 12:27pm 
nope just me :D
Seps 19 Sep, 2018 @ 12:21pm 
is it me or the audio responsivness doesnt work?

现象没有脉冲效果了
Acabarify 5 Mar, 2018 @ 7:49pm 
is it possible to make custom image / pure black background + trailing effect erasing?
ProfitProphet 13 Jan, 2018 @ 5:13pm 
also JUST MONIKA
ProfitProphet 13 Jan, 2018 @ 5:11pm 
Is there a way to make it so the center of the light can be set to a custom area instead of only having the follow mouse, random, and center option?
This is a fantasic wallpaper reguardless of it though, really appreciate that you made it! :luv:
0rphon 26 Dec, 2017 @ 3:05am 
amazing wallpaper. i have a 3+1 monitor setup. i have one hexagon spanned across the bottom 3 screens with decay turned all the way down and then the random hexagons on the top screen with the decay at normal. the only issue is that nomatter how much i tunker with the color change speed they always go out of sink after a few seconds and end up two completely different colors. anyone know a way to fix this?
豪猫!  [author] 2 Nov, 2017 @ 6:33pm 
WaxMan: I am sorry but I haven't got a perfect way to deal with it for now, but one easy workaround is to make the fade rate bigger.
KleptoJoe 2 Nov, 2017 @ 4:35am 
I love this and have been using it for a long time, but is there any way to get rid of the permanent glow the lines leave behind if you dont use the greyish background?
Tanuhki 7 Oct, 2017 @ 6:43am 
Awesome. Really looking forward.
豪猫!  [author] 5 Oct, 2017 @ 7:29pm 
Egologia: Oh I get what you mean... Currently the impluse is simply the brightened lines with the original or the reversed color (which would eventually be white if too bright). Nevertheless, I think I could make those colors customizeable... Thanks for the feedback and I'll tell you if it's done.
Tanuhki 28 Sep, 2017 @ 1:18am 
Judgment you got me wrong. The Hexagon Color is fixed and choose a Hexagon Color.
I am talking about the impulse, when you play a song.

My settings are:
Audio Recording: ON
Light spawn Position: Random
Use lines instead of dots: ON

Visual:
Hexagon size: 75%
Line or point size: 50%
Color Mode: Fixed
Hexagon Color: #ffa500
Blurring: 50%
Fading rate: 100%
Light decay speed: 100%
Light propagating: 100%
Sparkles besides lines: OFF

Use custom Background: ON
Background Image: Use whatever you like
Rotation degrees: 0
Displacment X : 0
Displacement Y : 0

Inverse color on pulse: ON
Maximum lights 300

Impose FPS Limit: OFF
Use careful calculation: OFF

Scheme Color : #000000

So they are basically switching from Yellow to white. It's the same with other Color options.
I have 2 Monitors i set one with this yellow hexagon and the other one with green.

Here is an Example of what i mean: https://www.imagebanana.com/s/829/exJ9RuCh.html

Egologia: I think you should be able to adjust the color that you want by selecting color mode to "Fixed", and then adjust "Hexagon color". Please tell me if it doesn't work.
Tanuhki 22 Sep, 2017 @ 8:48am 
Seriously looked so long and hard for a decent Audio Visualizer... this is by far the best i have ever tried. The only thing that rubs me the wrong way is... I can't change the "line or point" Color. If you could add the function to change the Line/Point Color this would be great.

Thanks in Advance, and keep up the good work.

ok after im started the wallpaper engine in 64bit mode the lags are gone
豪猫!  [author] 10 Jul, 2017 @ 7:21pm 
Screaming_Silent: Thanks for the feedback! Unfortunately I cannot directly tell the reason of being laggy for now. The code for painting hexagons is basically CPU demanding, so while I am trying to do some optimization on the code, you could first try adjusting parameters like: decreasing number of max lines, increasing the size of hexagons, increasing decay rate, decreasing shadow blur. Also you might check whether FPS is limited in this wallpaper or in the WE settings.

its a bit laggy with my i7 6700k (4 cores 8threads @4.4 GHz) ;/

other specs:

GPU: GTX 970
