This wallpaper includes Windows 98's Channel Bar, the startup sound, a music visualizer, a lyrics viewer, a web browser, and various apps like paint, solitaire, clock, and calculator.

Some web pages won't behave correctly because of the iframe security restrictions.

@G.O.O.D. Kid time
Is the window icon left click the only broken thing? What about other in-window menus?
Wallpaper clicks might be broken while using remote desktop software; tell me if you are using one.

Having installed everything quickly (the following instructions) and following them, the context menu does not appear to open new windows or folders. To open at least some menu, you have to go to Wallpaper Engine. How can I solve this problem or is it not the left mouse button that is used for this, like the web version, but a hot key?

@kanae do you mean you set a URL wallpaper in the background properties? Open Wallpaper Engine UI and click 'Show more options' to open that properties window again and reset the background option.

@RayHonKai place the cursor at the top of the screen (or below the top margin area if you have one set), and the menu bar will show up

How do I take the visualizer out of full screen mode? I've tried resetting the wallpaper but it doesn't go back to default.:dealeruwu:

@jesserocker Yeah, the keyboard input has been broken since the last Wallpaper Engine update (2.5). I'm working on a fix that utilizes the system plugin for receiving keyboard events, or an on-screen keyboard if unavailable. The implementation is now almost complete (see the GitHub repo for the progress) and will be released with the 3.3 update which will be released in about a month. For now, you can follow this official document [help.wallpaperengine.io] to downgrade Wallpaper Engine to 2.4 to modify those values.

Been looking for a solid Wallpaper Engine desktop Wallpaper some time, and this one definitely takes the cake. The attention to detail is amazing!

Just one thing, when I go to edit values the program freezes and I can't use those text boxes that pop up to edit the values. [...] (1/2)
