Video 2 Live Wallpaper
A downloadable App
Intro
Video 2 Live Wallpaper
- A FREE and easy-to-use live wallpaper app for Windows.
> Link to my dev post for the curious.
Drag a video/image into the window and click MAKE WALLPAPER (Shift + F).
That's it!
Click the tray icon to toggle between Window/Wallpaper Mode.
Right-click the tray icon for more options.
NOTE: This is a fully functional prototype.
But-- There are some minor issues I'm aware of. For example, it would be nice to have a 'launch on startup' option, and to save the Balloon Tips setting.
This is the current interface, as of v0.15b. If you want the version without the AI-model and experimental features, download v0.14b.
Release Log

- NEW toggle: Start w/ Windows

0.5b -These will now save across program relaunches and system reboots.
Starting with Windows requires writing the application path to the user's registry, which may trigger some anti-virus programs. You may safely ignore/bypass these, or simply don't enable Start w/ Windows.
It's disabled by default so it's optional either way.
