Wallpaper Engine is a unique and versatile tool that transforms your desktop into a dynamic canvas of live wallpapers. With an impressive AI Community Rating of 91.13%, this casual indie game allows you to animate your desktop with 3D and 2D animations, videos, websites, and even interactive applications. Whether you're customizing wallpapers with your favorite colors or creating your own designs using the built-in editor, Wallpaper Engine offers endless possibilities. The Steam Workshop hosts over a million free wallpapers, with new uploads daily, ensuring you’ll always find something fresh. Plus, the free Android companion app lets you take your favorite wallpapers on the go. While praised for its creativity and ease of use, some users report performance issues, such as high GPU usage and occasional crashes, particularly on lower-end systems. Despite these drawbacks, Wallpaper Engine remains a must-have for gamers and creatives looking to personalize their digital space.
I've been using Wallpaper Engine for YEARS across multiple PC builds and wholeheartedly believe this is one of the best PC personalization/customization programs out there, regardless of if you're into gaming. You don't need me to tell you that animated wallpapers are fire, but animated wallpapers are fire. There are literally endless live wallpaper options in the style of just about any form of media you are interested in, leading to the ultimate desktop experience. While there may be some wallpapers that are mildly taxing on lower end rigs, in general just about anyone can run this and find a wallpaper that resonates with them. In addition, Wallpaper Engine pauses itself when you're not on your desktop, which helps prevent it from being needlessly intensive on your hardware. Obviously very few people stare blankly at their desktop for extended periods of time, but for those moments in-between applications or if you're someone with multiple monitors, then this is absolutely a MUST-HAVE, especially for $4!

Does what it says on the package. For $4 it's a great deal. There is a lot more to it than just managing your desktop or mobile device wallpapers, but I have not gotten into any of that so far. Without diving into that aspect of it, there's not much more to say. However... why the hell does this have Steam Achievements? Achievements for favoriting wallpapers, etc. And Trading Cards, seriously? Regardless, however pointless achievements and cards are for an app like this, it's well worth the money and minimal amount of setup time to get it working and find some wallpapers that fit your aesthetic.
I will leave the cat here, so that everybody who passes by can pet it and give it a thumbs up and awards. (i love this game) /> フ | _ _ l /` ミ_xノ / | / ヽ ノ │ | | | / ̄| | | | | ( ̄ヽ__ヽ_)__) \二つ

I only really got wallpaper engine in order to have a different wallpaper on my 2nd monitor, due to the lack of windows support put into multi-monitor setups with different screen sizes and shapes. Turns out, WPE will just randomly crash my system, BSOD style. If it works for you, fantasic! If it doesn't, that's a shame. It didn't particularly impact my PCs performance in other ways, but the random crashes are just a dealbreaker for me. TLDR: was great, until it wasn't. Crashes randomly.
Apparently isn't compatible with one of my monitors DESPITE having worked flawlessly for the last while. I recently bought an asus tuf gaming monitor to pair with my lg ultragear and set the asus as the primary monitor. For the last 2 or so weeks, I've had both monitors active while playing a wallpaper on each one, working without issue whatsoever until today. I shut my computer off, then turned it on 2 mins later after realizing i needed to grab a link. Afterwards, my asus monitor would turn on normally, but as soon as the app started up and began running a wallpaper, the signal was immediately cut on my asus, wherein it then turned off automatically due to receiving no signal, but not the lg monitor. Before I get told the same bull-shit instructions about "update or fresh install graphics drivers" I already did that and then some. Checked my cables, checked my monitors, checked my drivers, checked my damn socks, checked everything humanly possibly. I swapped my lg to my primary monitor and it seems to display wallpapers fine with no issue whatsoever while my asus monitor remains on and active. However, when i apply a wallpaper on the asus though, it immediately cuts the signal and shuts off until i remove the wallpaper and manually turn on the monitor again. Aside from the fact that my lg is using an hdmi and my asus a dpi cable, I literally have no other idea what the issue could be aside it from being the fault of WallPaper engine itself.
Recently got a new laptop, decided to download this app so I could download a wallpaper or two that I had saved on my custom built pc at home. Hell no. Every single one on the other computer is being downloaded on my computer and I either need to manually uninstall every single one or run out of space on my new laptop cause you guys can't figure it out. Not worth it.
This game is for you if you want: - To be flashed - To see the collective artwork of every horny bastard on the internet This game is not for you if you want: - Linux support (this is a must for all gigachads) - Wallpapers that aren't AI or Anime (there's some good ones but its like finding a needle in a haystack)
the developers for this app are greedy and have disabled family sharing for wallpaper enginge. my other pc has not had any updates to wallpaper engine since they disabled the license for family sharing steam accounts. i can not use wallpaper engine on my second pc any more because my second pc is a child account and this is my main account family sharing. it use to work great but they got greedy and i can do the same thing they did to make the app and give you it all for free. I think that someone like me needs to just simply make this app free for all users as a big finger up to these developers greed. im not paying you again for my second pc to use family sharing. ill spend the time taking all your hard work and giving it away for FREE tho. you have made me that mad about this with your greed. i hope that your family meets the devil.
