It would be great if it centerd the text by default or at least tell me the x y positions to do so, cause having text on top left seems kinda off, but great wallpaper none the less!:luv:

Good idea, I added checkboxes to center the text. :)

It's so cool! Especially in night.
Some questions:
1.It's not sensitive enough to music. I've turn it to 100. Sometimes the song sounded but the program didn't respond. Especially the bass part and the faster part of the melody.
2.Font size. When i adjust it, it feels like I'm resizing a picture. Characters in rightmost column can only show part of it.
3.It takes much process resources(CPU) occasionally.

1.At this point the wallpaper only checks the left stereo channel. I will implement the reading of the second channel and try to improve the responsiveness with the next update.
2. The "resizing" is the way the font size works. I will try to improve the way the wallpaper refreshes when the size changes.
3.I don't know what the reason for this could be. The wallpaper refreshes with constant intervals (changed with speed slider). Maybe Wallpaper Engine itself causes this problem.

About point 1, I found it. It's my player. I prefer piano songs so i turn the volume down in my player, not system, sorry. After I turn up, response seems normal. But stereo channel is still a problem.
P2, When I turn "Font size" to 22 or 23(not x5, x0), characters in rightmost column will be hidden partly. I suggest you could change a way to composing font. Add a button to control the amount of column. So the spacing between column is flexible.
Thanks for your reply XD

This wallpaper is awesome. It would be nice if you could implement symbols in the message displayed as well.

a ability to add second to clocks. I know that last number will never fully draws, but I think it's cool

And add option to automaticly turn off "ract to music" react to music when no sound more than 5 second (and turn it off if sound appears)

Can you improve support for the Japanese character set? The original matrix digital rain was partially composed of hiragana, katakana, and kanji, but when I include these characters in this wallpaper, the bottom tenth of the characters is cut off!

Also, if you want to enable a default closer to the original matrix rain, here is the character set I whipped up:

0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZアイウエオカキクケコガギグゲゴサシスセソザジズゼゾタチツテトダヂヅデドナニヌネノハヒフヘホバビブベボパピプペポマミムメモヤユヨラリルレロワヲンあいうえおかきくけこさしすせそたちつてとなにぬねのはひふへほまみむめもやゆよらりるれろわをんがぎぐげござじずぜぞ字自時図得絵元気大仏課科火文法水海湖

It would be better if Matrix support Bluetooth audio.

This would be awesome if you could add 12 hr clock.

An idea for improvement: different drops falling at different rates. Watch how they did it in the film, and you'll see that the drops were not all falling at the same speed. Awesome job though, man!
billions 28 Sep, 2017 @ 7:42pm 
you think you could put in an option for a 12 hour clock?
superspeed212 5 Nov, 2017 @ 7:09am 
can you please add a option that when music is not playing it gos to a standby mode. The clock does not refresh.
