Make sure to fully close Wallpaper Engine when updating. If you are having issues, try verifying the files over Steam first.
Hey all,
Another small update for Wallpaper Engine has been released that is focused on fixing some issues that have come up:
The web engine (CEF/Chromium) has been updated to the latest version. This should fix loading of certain web pages and some DPI scaling related issues (the web wallpaper not being fullscreen or not registering clicks). If you are still having these problems, please let me know. Automatic pausing when Microsoft Edge is fullscreen, i.e. playing a video, should be fixed too.
I replaced the shimmering particles wallpaper with a new dynamic version that allows color changing and is designed to support stretching over three monitors (resolution of 5760 x 1080).
The Windows color adjustment on Windows 10 can now additionally be configured to overwrite the Windows settings for title/task bar colors. You can choose to keep the current Windows settings or overwrite them.
The tag "multi-monitor optimized" is gone now, because it was almost exclusively being abused. A new tag was added, "Unspecified", which is the default genre. The tag input control has also been replaced with a simple drop down menu, to reduce tag abuse:
I also got in touch with EVGA about excluding Wallpaper Engine from EVGA Precision X so the crashing issues when both applications are running should be gone with their next update.
If everything goes as planned, the next update will finally introduce the playlist/random feature in about 2 to 3 weeks.
Cheers,
Kristjan
Fixes
- Fixed Traditional Chinese flag.
- Potentially fixed Edge fullscreen not pausing videos.

Changes

- Made it possible for web wallpapers to read the application language from the 'language' property.
