Update 0.2.136 - June 30, 2026

Wallpaper Animator · published

New

  • High-priority startup - your wallpaper can load right at login, before the desktop finishes coming up. Turn it on from the first-launch startup prompt or in Settings. (Windows)
  • Update prompt - when a new version is ready, the app shows a prompt with a one-click Quit to update.

Improvements

  • Wallpapers are added to your library only when you bookmark them, not automatically when you play or download one.

Fixes

  • Closing Steam no longer stops your wallpaper or kills the tray icon. The wallpaper keeps playing, the tray stays available, and the app reconnects on its own when Steam reopens.
  • Stopping the app from your Steam library now quits it cleanly.
  • Clearer startup status: the app now tells "waiting for Steam" apart from "offline" and no longer spins an empty loading screen when offline.
  • Correct monitor sizing on high-DPI and multi-monitor setups. (Windows)
  • The first-launch startup prompt no longer briefly freezes the window. (Windows)
  • The app updates correctly when high-priority startup is enabled. (Windows)
  • Better fallback on KDE and Steam Runtime setups where the desktop integration was previously unreachable. (Linux)
  • Various stability and reliability fixes.
