I really like this fluid wallpaper from wallpaper engine. Does it work with this? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1748506393)](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1748506393)

Yes, It definitely works! Tested at v0.5.2 in TestFlight release

Here is the preview:

btw, due to a Cocoa API limitation (or just because I'm noob to that framework), you can only interact with the wallpaper with mouse clicking and dragging. Slightly different from Wallpaper Engine.

Let me try, thanks.

btw, is there a way to use Wallpaper Engine on Mac?

sherloach commented 11 months ago

There are some problems:

There are some problems:

  • it's seem that the folder of Fluid wallpaper has no mp4 file so your app set the default wallpaper (the blue background in the menu bar)

  • I can't use it for multiple desktops, this is my desktop 2, it still show the default wallpaper rather than the Fluid wallpaper

ym the Wallpaper Engine on Steam? I think it's impossible

Which version are you currently using? I suggest you could get the latest build from here

sherloach commented 11 months ago

oh I just downloaded the latest version, and the first problem was fixed. But it seems like just the first desktop works, the other desktops don't have animation when I click or drag, just a static wallpaper

Indeed, That's because I only designed Wallpaper Window which reveals at desktop layer to be initialized once. Wallpapers on the other desktops is truly static wallpaper, that I'd like to make your system menu bar's tint color to pair with the dynamic wallpaper's. Multi-display function is on its way.
