• Real-time interactive particle simulation with actual physics.
  Use the mouse to attract nearby particles and have them swim around your cursor!
  
  Not only that, but Particle Playground features a live-generated version of the Plexus effect (like the plugin for After Effects) and runs it efficiently on the CPU using optimized code.
  
  This is NOT a video. It's an actual simulation of what you see (and hear) on the screen!
  
  
• Fully spatialized/binaural 3D sound with procedurally animated positioning.
  
  Listen to the eery drones whizz by against the backdrop of a surreal and thunderous soundscape that moves around your head. You can hear when the sounds are above you, behind you, in front of you, etc. Great for relaxation!
  
  
• Multiple particle presets to choose from.
  Pick the one that suits your mood and let your imagination run free!
  
  
• Your mouse is like a little transformer that makes mechanical noises as you fling it around the screen. The sound it makes changes based on how fast you move it, where it is on the screen, and is fully 3D.
  
  
• Simulation speed (time scale) options. Particles going too fast? Doesn't fit your calm mood?
  Adjust the speed manually!
  
  
• Customized title text! You can set this to your name, or whatever else you want.
  You can even replace it automatically to show the current time from the options panel.
  
  
• Lots of settings and features to customize so you can make it your own.
  Changes are saved automatically so if/when you restart, you're back where you left off!

How do I customize the wallpaper? Sound volume, particle displays, etc...

There's a transparent gear icon on the top-right of the wallpaper. Hover your mouse over it and it will light up green. Clicking this will toggle the options panel which contains all the settings you can play with. Note that there are multiple tabs organizing similar options and that setting are saved automatically so you don't need to adjust them next time you load the wallpaper. Watch the video to see how this works.

Look at this image for reference: LINK!

I want to turn of the mouse particles and/or the background particle display.

The main tab has checkboxes you can use for this. If you want, you can disable either the background particles, the mouse follow particles, or both.

How do I change the particle background? Like the other particles in the screenshots.

The "<" and ">" arrow buttons below the sound volume sliders will cycle through the available presets.

This wallpaper is eating up my CPU and/or it's lagging! What do I do?

For lower-end computers, there are several performance options that can be tweaked. Try changing some of the settings in the performance tab (turn off post-processing, lower the target FPS, etc.).

Clicking the gear icon doesn't open up the options panel. How do I get it to work?

Exit out of Wallpaper Engine completely and start it again. It should work after that. I'm not sure what causes this, and I suspect it may be a bug with Wallpaper Engine since it never occurs in the standalone app.
