Latest Steam announcements

• v1.1.0.2 - 26 September 2022

  Features Hardware Acceleration - Uses the GPU for video decoding. This is on by default and was previously enabled by default on all older versions of Wallpaper Alive. You now have the ability to disable it. Doing so offloads video decoding from the GPU to the CPU. Automatic Screen Adjustment - Changing your Window's display settings, plugging in a new monitor, or removing a monitor will now cause the wallpapers to automatically adjust to fit the new display configuration. Bug fixes Fixed an issue that caused the wallpaper to be invisible for some setups. Fixed GIF wallpapers uploaded to the workshop appearing under the Image filter instead of the GIF filter. Notes from v1.1.0.1 Patch (Released Sept 11th) Fixed an issue causing the wallpaper service to not start for some users depending on the directory the application was installed under.

• V1.1.0 - The QOL Update - 5 September 2022

  Patch Notes: New Settings Added the option for selective muting. The mute option can be any of the following: Mute when an app is open or sound is playing Mute when an app is open Mute when audio is playing Never mute Added the option for choosing image fit which can be any of the following: Fill (Stretch to fit your screen) Fill + Preserve Ratio (Stretches to screen size while maintaining aspect ratio) True Size Added the following new pause options: Pause when an app is open even if it does not fill the screen Pause when an app is open (All monitors) even if it does not fill the screen Added a volume slider for video type wallpapers Improved User Interface The UI was overhauled to look more clean, professional, and hopefully more intuitive to use. Included a search bar to easily sort through installed workshop wallpapers You now have the ability to easily update your current wallpaper…

• v1.0.7.5 - 21 July 2022

  Custom shortcuts can now be created in the options menu. The rule for creating a shortcut is that it must be any single key and can additionally include any of the following modifiers: Alt, Control, and Shift. The app's menu can now also be opened via your tray. This can be accessed by clicking on the arrow on the right end of your taskbar. Click the Wallpaper Alive icon and this will bring the menu up. Over the past few weeks I have released a few updates which I have not posted notes for. The reason being that these were mostly minor bug fixes. Those changes are listed here. Fixed an issue where the wallpaper wouldn't properly fit to the screen or display at all in certain monitor configurations depending on monitor scale and position. Tweaked the check for active windows. This should solve issues where the wallpaper wasn't playing even when the desktop was visible when you have 'Defa…

• v1.0.5 - 25 June 2022

  Fixed a bug where the program would restart instead of closing when exited via Steam while the 'track steam time' option was turned off. To accommodate this new change, you will notice that the UI for the title bar with the close and minimize buttons look different. Updated the program's framework. Most notably this solves an issue that sometimes occurs where there is a hanging thread with irregular cpu usage. This issue could happen when you start the app while it is already running. Another bonus is that the total file size is now 10% smaller.

• V1.0.4 - 21 June 2022

  Sorry for the delay on this patch as I have been gone the previous week. Here is what has been fixed: Fixed the screen not always properly adapting to the screen size. This issue primarily impacted vertical display setups or setups with monitors of drastically different resolutions. Resolved a bug that sometimes caused a crash.

• v1.0.3 - 9 June 2022

  Made it so that when the app is relaunched it will no longer open a new instance if the app is already running. If you select the configurator menu from Steam it will still open the configurator menu in the already running app. Made it so that when the configurator menu is minimized it does not close the menu entirely, but minimizes to the task bar.

• v1.0.2 - 8 June 2022

  The program will no longer count towards steam time except when the configurator menu is open. To go back to the old style of time tracking enable the option in the settings menu.
