@Statusquo_ Try disabling the initial fade-in effect in the "Animations & Effects" section and see if that resolves the issue.

The wallpaper doesn't work anymore for me. It's just a black screen. I really love this wallpaper. Hope to get a solution for this.

@pi0tter
Thank you so much for enjoying the wallpaper!

I’ve just updated it and added full support for Thai language. If you notice anything still missing or broken, feel free to let me know.

I really love this wallpaper but it doesn't support my native language (Thai) can you please make it supports Thai language? The texts aren't showing and I'm suffering it right now :*( (but I enjoyed your wallpaper though!):steamhappy::steamhappy:

@Dancg3 Thanks a lot! I’m really glad you like it.

Unfortunately, the resolution of the album cover depends entirely on the music streaming app you’re using. Wallpaper Engine just receives the data (including the cover) from the app, so if Tidal sends a low-res image, there’s no way to improve it on my end. Spotify provides higher quality covers, so that’s why it looks better with it.

As for the buttons, there’s no way to make them control external music apps. They would only work for songs that are actually imported inside the wallpaper project itself, which doesn’t really make much sense for a music visualizer that’s supposed to follow external playback.

Hope that clears things up!

Best visualizer of the entire wallpaper engine, just a few questions, using tidal desktop app the album cover it's also low resolution any way to fix that? Or just stick to spotify, and second, is it possible to make the buttons of the player work? Thanks for your awesome work dude :steamthumbsup:

Nice!

Thank you! This is the only Now Playing wallpaper on WPE that works with YT Music and properly displays both the artist’s name and the song title. All the others glitch with YT Music and only show the song title.:steamthumbsup:

@my name is Ac Hi, it should be fixed now.

Hey, i've been using this wallpaper for a week now, the only thing i can notice here is that when the title of the music or the album/artist name is too long, it goes beyond the player

@flashNATION Hi! I just added it.
theghostale_  [author] May 16 @ 10:12am 
@PLAYER 您好!感谢您的反馈 🙏 🙏

关于您提到的混色逻辑,实际上是因为背景从封面中提取了两种颜色:原色和副色。

这两种颜色并不是根据它们出现的频率来选择的,而是根据它们的饱和度、对比度和视觉效果来选择的。因此,即使封面几乎全是黑色,但如果有一小块高饱和度的红色,程序仍会选择这块红色作为主色调。

这种方法更倾向于捕捉整体的 “视觉印象”,而不是像素中出现最多的颜色。

我会考虑您的建议,看看是否可以优化逻辑,例如增加一个机制来更好地识别背景色或色彩平衡,从而使结果更加准确。

再次感谢您的支持!很高兴你喜欢这个项目 😊

色彩会有断层,我的显示器是10-bit的,我也确认了软件层面
照理来说不应该会这样
另外,混色逻辑似乎可以优化,这在某些专辑(例如:spider-man-into-the-spider-verse,只取了白色和红色,其实还应该有黑色的),会产生奇怪的动态效果
最后,我很喜欢这个,真的
这两个问题无伤大雅
我真的很感谢你能做出这种东西

Hi, any possibility of having Portuguese [PT-BR] language on the Date language?

If possible and i could help with translations lmk
Hognee May 2 @ 7:32am 
@thegostale_ alright, thanks for your response :)

@Second Hi, I don’t use Apple Music, so I can’t reproduce this error myself. However, I’ll look into it and try to find a solution.
theghostale_  [author] May 1 @ 3:36pm 
@Hognee Hi! This issue is related to how YouTube or your browser sends the song’s cover image data to Wallpaper Engine. Unfortunately, there’s no way to fix it, as it depends entirely on YouTube / the browser itself. The best solution would be to use the Spotify desktop app instead.
second May 1 @ 12:59pm 
hey, while using apple music the album name shows next to the artists name, can you add something that stops that (for example detects the - next to the artist name and gets rid of the spaces?)
Hognee May 1 @ 9:14am 
Hi, do you know why my covers are appearing in low resolution? I use YouTube Music. Tried with the web version of Spotify too, but it was still low res.
theghostale_  [author] Apr 20 @ 6:11am 
Thanks @cyrorico! I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'll check it out and see if I can make it work.
cyrorico Apr 16 @ 5:01pm 
Hi, this looks really good on my two monitors. Is there any way for it to transition from one color to another when changing songs? Otherwise it's perfect :steamhappy:
theghostale_  [author] Mar 16 @ 2:17pm 
@iMR.sKiLLz Hi, I've added an option to do that. Go to "Background" > "Default Color".
iMR.sKiLLz Mar 11 @ 9:08pm 
How do I change the color of the default background when no music is playing?
Billiamisbest Mar 10 @ 2:32am 
This wallpaper is fantastic! Could you please fix the fact that the month (or at least March) is uncapitalised? :steamhappy:
jcr.uzz Feb 8 @ 3:49pm 
This wallpaper is very good, but I think it would be perfect if the background is more accurate to the iphone, add me on Discord "jcr.uzzz" if you want to see what I´m talking about
theghostale_  [author] Feb 8 @ 7:35am 
@drake lol It should be fixed now
drake lol Feb 5 @ 5:48pm 
I have the settings set to only show the background, but after the song ends then the media player shows up again even if it's set to be hidden.
theghostale_  [author] Jan 28 @ 11:12am 
@2823566247 你好,谢谢!很抱歉,这些按钮只是为了美观,无法用来控制音乐。
2823566247 Jan 28 @ 6:27am 
说实话 apple music完美支持 就是暂停播放上一首下一首 按不动 按了没有反应 此外非常感谢作者能做出这款壁纸 我非常喜欢

@ramabulebo03 I don't think it's possible to display album covers for MP3s in Windows Media Player. Unfortunately this limitation is not something I can control.
ramabulebo03 Oct 29, 2024 @ 8:17pm 
How do you use it with Windows Media Player, it shoes song title but not album cover, but when i play mp4 files, it displays thumbnail as the art-
theghostale_  [author] Oct 27, 2024 @ 7:54am 
@一生忧愁只为君 你好,如果你使用 Spotify 或浏览器,歌曲的封面会自动显示。如果你使用网易云音乐,在之前的评论中有用户建议了一个方法让它正常显示。

@Buckethead_ 谢谢!桌面按钮暂时没有办法实现,而进度条我不确定是否可行,但我正在研究如何解决。
Buckethead_ Sep 28, 2024 @ 4:10am 
如果100分我打98,差2分是在桌面按钮和进度显示上,不过已经非常非常非常喜欢了,谢谢作者,valy cool :steamthumbsup:

@thegostale_ it's working now, I don't know what happened, but I'm happy it's fine:)
theghostale_  [author] Sep 21, 2024 @ 1:17pm 
@Tigerfire5 Hi, sorry for the late reply. I know it's possible, but I haven't been able to figure out how to make it work. If I can, I'll update the wallpaper
6niets9 Sep 21, 2024 @ 5:20am 
almost perfect, this is awesome. way simpler to use than the rainmeter alternatives out there. only question i have is if it's intentional that the month isn't capitalized? really the only thing i would change lol
Tigerfire5 Sep 10, 2024 @ 12:27am 
Is it possible for you make the progress bar function and show how much of the song is done?
zoomel ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Sep 6, 2024 @ 3:27am 
@thegostale_ entirely black
theghostale_  [author] Aug 28, 2024 @ 1:04pm 
@zoomel ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Could you have maybe enabled the "Use Custom Background" option without actually loading any images? That's the only reason I can think of right now. I'll check more later. Anyway, is the wallpaper entirely black, or do you at least see the time and date?
zoomel ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Aug 28, 2024 @ 12:18pm 
@thegostale_ I'm using Spotify, it's working on other wallpapers, so it's probably not the issue
theghostale_  [author] Aug 28, 2024 @ 11:16am 
@zoomel ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Hi, what music playback software are you using? It's possible that it might not support sending the song data to the Windows Media Overlay (the rectangle that appears in the upper left corner). In this case, it's a software issue and one potential solution is to utilize its web version. Also make sure you have the "Media integration support" enabled in settings.
zoomel ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ Aug 28, 2024 @ 10:47am 
Hi, the wallpaper only display a full black ackground, I can't see anything. Do you know how to fix it?
theghostale_  [author] Aug 28, 2024 @ 10:04am 
@做个俗人贪财好色 是的,如果我能帮上忙,我很乐意回答问题!:steamthis:
