Ah ok. I am not doing any freelance work atm. I am not sure what you need, but if thise wallpaper didn't support a logo overlay,

I am mostly not freelancing due to a lack of energy ( i overdid things once again and need a recovery period ). Feel free to ask though, as the wallpaper is only some js/css/html and adding a logo for example might be very easy without needing to hire someone. If it's too much for me I will just be honest and let you know, so can't promise. But ya can always ask.

@Squee Gotcha , as soon I get the channels going ill drop them, As for the Friend Re I completely understand was just interested if you do paid commission , keep up the good work though!

@A Balanace Diet: I saw your friend request. I never accept those unless I have a clear reason to. Anything regarding my wallpapers can be communicated here on the steam community if needed. If there is any clear reason to make something private then it's different. It's just that I constantly get friend requests that without clear reason I will just ignore them for my own sanity.

But again, I am more than willing to help anyone here in public if I can. And if you have a reason to take things private just let me know.

@A Balance Diet: Basically feel free to use as it. I'm not actively working on it anymore but if I can fix a bug quickly I'll try to. I've already seen a different one of my wallpapers been used on twitch before, and another has been used in one of the trailers of wallpaper engine. So I am more than ok with it being shared. You don't even have to mention me or the wallpaper or whatever, go nuts.

However I'd love to hear it's being used and maybe where if you don't mind sharing such info here in the comments. I'm on twitch a couple of times per weak listening to music so would love to see my own work there haha.

May I use Sound Splitter in my streams and my youtube videos , they are just music streams/videos need a background and the idle backgrounds I use kinda fall flat after being up for longer than 30 seconds XD

@fitztin The actual audio recording and processing is done by WE not any specific wallpaper. And WE just uses your windows audio devices/drives which supplies premixed audio. I did find this which might help: https://help.wallpaperengine.io/en/audio/limittomusicplayer.html

not sure if its already an option that i don't see but I would like to be able to mute certain apps that it is reacting to, like someones voice on discord.

@headbandhaze I'm gonna have to disappoint you then. The data we get to display is the same for all wallpapers and supplied from WE. The range has been fixed years ago when WE was still in early access.

I wish I could adjust the exact Hz of each end. I have songs where the bass goes lower than the visualizer on the left side.

@Kahuna That is possible, but I think by default it will react to music you play on your pc. You would have to check the settings of wallpaper engine to see what audio device it is recording from. I think by default it's recording your output ( what ever is on your speakers ) instead of your input ( your mic ). There are as also a number of reasons that audio processing might fail and more help can be found here https://help.wallpaperengine.io/en/audio/audiodetection.html#_1-audio-device-setup

From what I understand, this wall paper takes up sound (from computer mic) and will do an "animation" when that happens. However, when I use this wallpaper, nothing happens ... do I misunderstand on how this works?

Ah okay.
I copied the files, works great!

thanks a bunch

That problem is best asked in the bugs forum for wallpaper engine as I have no control over saving the actual settings as WE does that for me. If you were to make a post in the bugs forum feel free to let me know just in case there is something I can do.

If you want a work around however instead of fixing the actual problem you can copy the wallpaper:
1. Go to where steam downloads your games/apps and find this folder: \Steam\steamapps\common\wallpaper_engine\projects\myprojects
2. Make a new directory in myprojects.
3. Then open the wallpaper browser
4. right click the wallpaper and select "open in explorer" from the menu.
5. Copy all the files to your newly created folder in myprojects

This should create a duplicate of the wallpaper to which different settings can be applied.

how can i set different profiles for the desktop and screensaver? currently when switching between profiles for desktop and screensaver they dont stick to their different settings

That sounds like a setting within WE itself. Open the settings within Wallpaper Engine and look for the "pause" settings.

How do you make the visualizer work even when you have windows above the home screen? Whenever I go back to the home screen it takes a second or two for the visualizer to begin again. Why?

Nice

@Calvin after subscribing just select it in the wallpaper browser.

how do I use it?


Is it a asset?

Thanks for the quick fix. I love this wallpaper and even the thought of not being able to use it scares me :D

Works as intended now, thanks for the quick fix

Uploaded the fix. As said, the wallpaper should try to maintain a frame rate that is configured in WE when unlocking frame rate, else the frame rate is tied to the updates of the audio data which is around 28-29 fps.

For testing the higher frame rates I had to fake the high fps setting as my system is limited to 60fps and I accidentally left that line in the code when I updated it on steam. It should now be back to normal and limited by the fps setting in WE itself.

@Epic You found the bug, or actually the line I used to test that last patch. That line at 466 should of been removed before publishing. @AltugOS I will update the wallpaper. It should try to maintain the FPS as set in WE itself, but I forgot to remove a line of code I used to test the higher framerate.

@Epic thank you very much, it works as I wanted now...

Hi @Squee I created a slider that you can adjust the target fps with, I could send you the edited files, just let me know how. Also @AltugOS if you just want to edit it manually its at line 466 in index.html

Awesome work! Been using this on and off for years. But recently because of erwin's request, when I unlock the framerate, numbers go sky high (180fps average), which is awesome for some people but results in too much processing power consumption for some people (like me). So my options are either 20-30fps (which is not smooth) or 180fps (which results in my poor 1060 idling around 20-30%). Is there a way to add an option to limit the framerate of the unlocked mode to 60fps? It would be amazing.
I've been looking around in your code but couldn't find the part containing the unlocked framerate codes. If you don't want to add that kind of a feature, maybe you could point me in the right direction so I can put a fixed frame limit on my copy?

170 fps since WE 1.3 but it's fine

I get 210/235 fps now.. that's sick
Thank you

@erwin .. updated. I'm curious to hear what fps you reach now.

Awesome!

@Erwin Ok. I will adjust something the next time I update the wallpaper with new translations. The way the code is written to limit frame rate to what is set in WE is really designed for 60fps. 120 is theoretically possilble. But because the wallpaper is javascript running in chromium I am not sure 240 is possible, but a short test showed that I could achieve 200+ so we will see.

240 fps, i am hitting 115 with your wallpaper

@Erwin Before I reply to your request a question: What is the highest FPS you are able to set WE to? I ask as I am limited to 60.

Hi, love the wallpaper. I want to ask if you can add a variable/slider option for the unlock fps/music delay? I want to have a 240 fps spectrum (:
Thank you for this wallpaper.

Hey! muting VD from the volume mixer works perfectly, thank you so much!

@Virtual_Bĭch You could try what Epic suggested.

Another idea is if you have no wallpapers that require audio, then leave audio recording on, but in windows volume mixer, turn down wallpaper engines volume to 0 as it affects how loud the audio is that WE records too. Just don't forget to turn it back up if you do want to use audio with any wallpaper . The way it was written is that the no-audio animation depends on having audio input from.

A not so perfect option, but in the wallpaper there is an option "Silence Threshhold". If you set it to 100 and slightly lower the volume of the output to about 50%, it probably will never detect any audio. To compensate you could raise the volume on your speakers, though with some headphones this might not work as they adjust the windows volume itself instead of work independently.

Try changing your audio device to something else where nothing is playing inside wallpaper engine settings

is there a way to have this work normally without audio responsiveness? I know it sounds dumb but I am trying to get it to do its default 'silent' animation at all times regardless of whats playing, if anything. when I turn off 'audio recording' it just stays flat :/

u did a great job, thx

Sorry but that isn't a setting. Had to double check but only the visualizer itself can be hidden.

I love it!
I do have a question though; Is there a way on my end to sync the foreground image with audio? I am using a dancing gif, and I only want to see it pop up when I start up my music.

One of the best EQs I've seen on this app. Plus the customization makes it even better, love it!

Oh, I see!! Got it!! Thank you very much, both of you!!! Cheers!

@El Ciryatan, as Epic said you can use the arrow keys, but I can probably add them without much problem as it is a minor change in the project settings. I will check it out at some point in the future.

you can use the arrow keys for fine adjustment

Hi! I like this wallpaper!

Is it possible to have an input box for the values beside the sliders in the settings because it's hard to make some very delicate adjustments. It may be easier to type the values for some people. Just a thought.

Hate to say it but I most likely wont get around to it .. If you are willing to do some effort I would suggest looking into software called rainmeter. You can find a lot of different clock "skins" that you can use and place anywhere on your desktop which will overlay any wallpaper. It works great in combination with Wallpaper Engine. It can do a lot more than just clocks, but it also has some great clock designs too if you search around for them

I'm using you wallpaper and its incredible, great job man!, but, i have a suggestion:
Make a option to add a custom clock, like choose between an analogic clock or a digital one, it would be amazing!
Thx for your work man, really good job!

@GRIMM So if i understand it right, you pause the sound and you see those bars rising just after which you are hovering your mouse over right? Do you have any extra software running that processes audio? Does this happen with every audio source?

My current guess is that what is happening is that when you pause the player for whatever reason is actually playing an inaudible noise instead of nothing at all. The normalization option of the wallpaper is picking up on that an amplifying the results which is that rising effect you see.

If this is the case, there is an option in the settings just above "Color Gradient 1" called "Silence threshold". Try to cause that effect by pausing and then raise the silence threshold in little steps ( you can use the arrow keys when the input is active ) to see when it start ignoring that faint signal.

@Klukva .. sorry for the slow reply, forgot about your message as I read it while doing other stuff. What do you mean exactly as there is already a color rotation option?
