Nevermind, I'm getting this issue with most of them? Any suggestions?

Hello, March is broken on 1080p monitors, half of the screen is white. Reinstalling the theme repeats this and is only prevalent on March.

Also, a mechanic that lets you give certain scenes an extra chance to be picked in the "random" mode would be swell.

Hello, I have my wallpapers configured to go mute when an application is focused, however this does not function here. Is there any workaround or a patch for this? Other than that these are amazing.

@jmdajm7, in regards to the border problem some have mentioned: In a couple of the scenes, specifically March and December, there is a blank border around half of the scene. This is reflected in the Living Worlds demo on Effect Games (http://www.effectgames.com/demos/worlds/) .
Thanks for all your effort in formatting these beautiful wallpapers over to Steam :)

Here is the git repo: https://github.com/jmdajm7/living-worlds

The code is not minified or obfuscated in any way, so you can just check out the source code in your downloaded workshop files, basically everything relevant is in the main.js.
Just keep your expectations low, the whole wallpaper engine stuff is just kinda hacked in there :)

I'll take a look at maybe pushing this to GitHub over the weekend.

Regarding the weather, I've looked into this a bit before but haven't really implemented anything. It should be possible, but you would need to map the different weather types returned by some API to the best fitting scenes, as not every scene has weather variants.

Perhaps you would be interested in sharing privately or uploading your work on this to github so others may improve it.

YES! I love these pieces so much, having them as a wallpaper is a dream come true. Do you think it would be possible to use weather data from the local machine to interpolate between the different versions of the same scene? The time sync is amazing, but weather sync would really make this the penultimate wallpaper.

Sorry it took me a while to get around to updating this, but I've just pushed an update that centers the image with the 'Fit to screen' options, among some other smaller changes

This works great, however, the vertical "Fit to screen" option is pretty much useless, because it doesn't center the wallpaper. Instead it is just placed on the left side of the screen. Could you make it center the wallpaper instead?

Is good yes

Thank you so much for uploading these. Probably the best wallpapers on wallpaper engine.

This is incredible!
I uploaded some of these wallpapers as scene type wallpapers many years ago, and have always wanted it to be able to change the time of day according to real time. But i didnt, and still dont have, the knowhow nor the patience to do so, so i am blown away by this!

Back then the effect games website didnt have the time of day slider, which didnt make my life any easier lol. Dont know when it was added, but this is a fantastic, very user friendly and customizable implementation of that feature.

Absoloutly amazing job sir!

Here is the wallpaper for the canvas cycle scenes:

Haven't tested it too much so there may be some bugs, just let me know if you find anything broken :)

Yeah that is exactly what I was talking about.

Do you mean the images from here http://www.effectgames.com/demos/canvascycle/ ?
I haven't seen those before your comment. I don't think it would be easy to add them to this wallpaper, as the living worlds images all have dynamic time of day and the canvas cycle images do not.
From a quick look it does however seem fairly similar in terms of how it is implemented, so I could probably make a new wallpaper using the code changes from this one without too much effort. I'll take a closer look at that over the weekend.
Thanks for pointing this out, there are some pretty scenes in there :)

Oh wow this is great, I've been looking for something that added most of these Mark Ferrari images as wallpapers for about a year now and it was just here. I only have to ask if it would be possible to add the Canvas Cycle images to this as well.

No worries my friend. Even this is lovely and I want you to know you are appreciated just for keeping this one alive and well.

i'll re-take a look at the APK if i manage to copy it out and let you know.
In any case, just re-send it to me so i can take a look.

I've just checked the latest version from the play store and that one only has cropped portrait images as far as I can tell. If you got some other version with landscape images or if I'm just not looking in the right place let me know.

@jmdajm7: I think it has landscape versions aswell in a different folder or address.
I think i sent the entire apk, if not, lemme know and i'll try to grab the APK and re-share it.

yep, those files are sitting around somewhere as a half finished wallpaper :)
The issue is that they are cropped for portrait, so I can't extract and use the events from there for this wallpaper, besides I think handling those events isn't event implemented in the effectgames version.

I'll move finishing that other wallpaper higher up on my projects list, but can't promise anything.

@jmdajm7: The data i sent a few years ago from the Android APK should have those aswell, since they are the same thing from what he describes.
If you still have those, it will work just fine.

It's the version from this site http://www.effectgames.com/demos/worlds/ which afaik doesn't have the special events that are in the android version.
If you know where I can get the uncropped images with the events let me know, if those even exist.

I do plan to eventually create a portrait wallpaper from the android version, but that requires free time and also mostly some motivation to do that amongst a bunch of other projects :)

Does this version of the wallpapers have the Special Events that happen during certain dates and times?

I've just added a "Fit to Screen" selection to the options, there you can disable stretching and instead choose to instead fit the wallpaper horizontally or vertically to the screen

Could you add an option to zoom instead of stretching the wallpaper?

The official version is more than worth it, offering reconstructed elements that are missing from the HTML version, best 2 bucks I've ever spent!

As far as i can see the Android version of Wallpaper Engine currently only supports scene and video wallpapers and not web, so this one is sadly not compatible.
There is however an official Android live wallpaper version here:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pixfabrik.livingworlds

Can you approve this for mobile use?

Only one that actually works, and with all the possible features, thank you so much!

This is perfection.

That could be possible using something like the openweathermap api, at least for the scenes that have weather effects. I'll look into it when i have the time and motivation

Would be super cool if there could be a functionality in calendar mode to read your location and weather and automatically determine the wallpaper type to display depending on it, maybe updating daily. But then maybe it would be out of scope of this project? It's very nice as is though. I dreamed of using those things as actual dynamics wallpapers.

I have got the files from the Android version, which has the uncropped versions of the mansion and the monolith.
Add me if you are interested in them, it's hard to make them work since you gotta reorganize their JS files, but it's plausible, since little changed in the scenes themselves

I just pushed an update that should fix selecting the proper mode and time sync on startup. Let me know if something is broken.

I'm also seeing the issue with time and calendar sync now where it has to be checked/unchecked in order for it to work.

I hope I've fixed the sound bug, but i'm not sure. Seems like sometimes it didn't stop the audio from playing when switching scenes? Was always that bird ambient sound for me. Other than that I also noticed that the march scene was missing so I added that as well.

Also , i noticed it might not stop the sounds completely, not sure if its an oversight tho or another application is emitting those, but im pretty sure it isn't.

Only thing i noticed is that Time Sync has to be disabled then re-enabled to sync.
Besides that, the new features are working fine.

I just uploaded an update with sounds and classic color blending, the original code i used did not have these features so now its a bit hacked together with the version from effectgames website,
let me know if something is broken.

I also have the audio files here incase you need them, i see that this one doesn't had those included.

Oh, and to re-add the sounds so it plays them.

Can you add an option to enable the classic palette swapping mode?
Thanks a lot! THis works much better!
