Hey everyone,
An update for Wallpaper Engine has just been released that improves the wallpaper browser. You can now switch between wallpapers and monitors without having to re-open it, so your friends won't get spammed with the in-game notification anymore. The color customization has been moved into the browser, so you don't have to open the settings to adjust the wallpaper/Windows colors. And finally, there's some initial sorting and filtering now to make finding wallpapers easier.
I have also attempted to address stability issues with the UI, let me know in the comments if you are still experiencing crashes or post a thread in the bugs forum if something's wrong ( http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/1/ ). The custom colors you have set so far will be reset with this patch unfortunately, but it shouldn't take too long to set them up again with the new browser.
Coming next up are improvements to web wallpapers so they can read custom user colors and audio input from JavaScript plus a guide to illustrate the required setup for that.
UI improvements:
- Added instant preview to browser.
- Removed separate monitor window and integrated it into browser (only visible on multi monitor systems).
- Made it possible to immediately adjust colors in browser.
- Made it possible to open all three windows at the same time.
- Added settings short cut button into browser.
- Added text search and sorting to browser.
- Added icon for favorite items in browser.
- Added obvious tutorial to editor home screen.
- Attempted to improve UI stability and responsiveness (CEF is now running in its own thread).
Fixes:
- Attempted white window on Win 7 on multi monitor systems that don't use live wallpapers on all monitors.
- Fixed WASAPI not restarting when default audio device changes (e.g. plugging earphones in).
- Fixed WASAPI sometimes detecting 'silence' flag in error.
- Attempted to fix frame skipping on looping videos.
- Attempted to fix flashing on looping videos.
- Fixed mouse coords in web wallpapers not being relative to their screen.
- Fixed wallpaper monitor offset being based on monitor work area instead of full area (caused issues with task bars at the top).
- Fixed web wallpapers being able to mess with the project.json (could potentially change it and link it to an executable).
- Fixed UI crash on shutdown due to pending inter-process commands.
- Fixed browser rating display.
Changes:
- Enabled error file logging by default.
- Removed model material limit.
- Added save button and save notification to wallpaper editor to make behavior clearer.
- Changed order of menu items in tray.
Cheers
