For the dev: Please explain the statement "Wallpapers will pause while playing games"

[Cazador de coyotes]

Hi!. I discovered this software and I'm thinking to buy it. I just have one easy question for the developer...

Please could you explain the statement you did about "Wallpapers will pause while playing games" in the feature list?. I mean, what this really means and what Wallpaper Engine will really do and in what circunstances? (since it will never could distinguish which running process is a generic game, and which is not).

I imagine that Wallpaper Engine just will detect the enter to fullscreen mode then it will stop the wallpaper animation to save cpu usage, but I don't know if this exactlly as I'm saying because the statement above is unclear for the end-user, so I'm asking for to be sure what Wallpaper Engine will do/detect to stop itself. Or maybe other possibility is that Wallpaper Engine will detect the execution of steam based games and then it will stop the wallpaper animation regardless of whether the game is running on fullscreen or windowed mode... and that possibility is the bad one, so just I'm asking to know.

Thanks for read.

Well, I'm not the dev but, the wallpapers can be paused when there is another application in fullscreen mode(I don't think it's bound just to steam games), a window is maximised, or another application is being focused on (You click with your cursor on a window of an application).

All those can be set to on and off as you like.

Thankyou so much for the info, but the dev in the feature list said "wallpapers will be paused" and you said "wallpapers can be paused". Then I still have the question: ¿When a process/game goes to fullscreen mode, the wallpaper animation pause is made automatic by the application or is the user who needs to pause it manually?, ¿or can be both things?, ¿maybe do you know that?. Thanks again.

PS: Sorry for my bad English.

In the settings, there is an option to let it pause when fullscreen is entered(or even stopped, which will deactivate the wallpaper to free some RAM), if you want you can set this option to "on", to let it automatically pause when fullscreen is detected.

Does this answer your question?
