Minimalist, Convenient, all while staying in Low in CPU usage.
My mp4 video is playing im at 4%-7% 1080p. windows 10 is normally at 3% idle
-Can set it to pause in full screen, play audio in video, just pause audio when open app to fullscreen.
Check it out -u see that option GAMES it can PLAY GAMES!!!
so easy and usefull and beutiful
EASILY better than screen play, how do I know:
Image PC, install one, set a "WebGL fluid simulation" FROM HERE then "dance the mouse wildly" monitoring cpu/ram use..., then restore, install the other and do EXACT SAME TEST
One uses about 40% the resources of the other.
THE WINNER IS BY FAR "Lively Wallpaper"

When I got an new windows machine for christmas, I searched around if there is anything that can change the look and feel of my system, I couldn’t find an open sourced, free and user friendly solution to it easily. I scourged all over internet looking for such a solution, I couldn’t find one that I liked.
When I finally gave up on the hunt, a person by the name rockdanister posted his first release of lively in reddit. I was a bit skeptical about his work. Neverthless I gave it a try and as expected it was bad.
Over the coming months this one guy/girl kept on rolling out new updates with cool features, new looks and most importantly showed a commitment to sqaush bugs reported on github.
The support over on his discord channel is also superb, where 100s of people are always ready to help you out, whenever anyone gets stuck.
Eventhough later I found out many more applications which can do similar things, I still like lively and its strong one person dev team.
You are doing god’s work mate. Hope this application gets acquired by Windows and gets directly integrated into it.
9/10 - 1 point deducted because you are not putting a price tag on it.
AMAZING!
