Steam Workshop, the distribution tool for the Wallpaper Engine app
Not everybody likes Steam, but there is a good reason why Wallpaper Engine is distributed through Steam: the Steam Workshop.
In it, users can add their own contributions to Wallpaper Engine app. For small developers, this is a pretty cool way to get new content into the application.
Wallpaper Engine breathes life into your desktop
The app’s effects are quite impressive. Start by clicking a wallpaper from the collection to select it. You will also get some options for altering playback speed, volume and the theme colors of the desired wallpaper.
You can have the Wallpaper Engine change your Windows accent color with the wallpaper automatically. You’re also able to modify the frame rate and you’ll notice that it can go up to 60FPS.
To reach 60FPS, you really have to own a great set of graphics hardware if you want that things will go as smoothly as possible.
