Wallpaper Engine is a program that allows you to set live wallpapers on your desktop. Thanks to the animated graphics, videos and applications, you can play a mini-game right on your desktop, use video segments from your favorite anime and movies, or just put nature, and why not. Well, if you are a music lover, you can always use a wallpaper with a reaction to the sound and watch the flicker and movement to the music, or set the usual equalizer. Also, the wallpaper can follow the cursor and move behind it, and the cursor can leave a trace, then everything depends on the creator of the wallpaper.
But, let's say you decided to find wallpaper and you can't do it, well, no one has created such, or created it, but you are not satisfied. Then you can always create your own wallpaper without any difficulties, although to create very complex scenes or java, you need to know something or have additional programs. But here is a video wallpaper I think everyone "can handle it". The Wallpaper Engine program allows you to do this, you do not need to download anything else, everything is already in it. You just need to right-click on the tray icon and select "Create Wallpaper", or on the icon above the wallpaper collection.
As soon as you do this, a new Wallpaper Editor window will open, where you should select the source file (application, image, video) and you can immediately start creating your own work of art.
