New animation engine - animations are now generated by a different model (MiniMax H3) running on our own servers. Motion looks smoother and more natural on most wallpapers, and picture quality improves on some. If it is ever unavailable, the previous engine takes over automatically, and the wait stays around five minutes either way.
Discover: Trending and Recent - a Trending row, plus a row where freshly published community wallpapers spend their first 24 hours.
Real animation countdown - the "Animating" timer now shows the actual expected wait for your clip instead of a fixed estimate.
Improvements
Starting an animation applies the still to your desktop right away; the finished video swaps in seamlessly when ready.
The Publish button moved into the wallpaper's action row and shows whether it is already published.
Large libraries load noticeably faster.
If Steam is not running, the app says so instead of waiting on the sign-in forever.
Rejected image requests now explain the reason in your language.
Fixes
Fixed typing lag and caret jumps in the search and prompt fields.
Deleted wallpapers no longer appear in search results.
