DeskX: Wallpaper Engine — v1.0.0

Set images, GIFs, videos, and interactive HTML pages as your desktop wallpaper.

🖥️ Downloads

File Description
DeskX-Setup.exe One-click installer (recommended)
DeskX-win32-x64-1.0.0.zip Portable — extract and run, no install needed

Both are fully standalone. No Node.js, Python, or any runtime required. Everything is bundled inside.

✨ Features

  • Multi-format wallpapers — PNG, JPG, WebP, BMP, GIF, MP4, WebM, MKV, AVI, MOV, WMV, FLV, HTML
  • Multi-monitor support — Same wallpaper on all, different per-monitor, or span across all displays
  • True desktop wallpaper — Renders behind desktop icons using Win32 WorkerW injection (not an overlay)
  • Video wallpapers — Full playback with sound toggle and loop control
  • Interactive HTML — Set any HTML/CSS/JS page as a live wallpaper with mouse & keyboard support
  • Fit modes — Cover, Contain, Stretch, Center — with live preview before applying
  • Spanning preview — Multi-monitor tile visualization showing how wallpapers distribute across displays
  • System tray — Runs quietly in the background with pause, mute, and remove controls
  • Drag & drop — Drop files directly onto the settings window
  • Start with Windows — Optional autostart toggle
  • Single instance — Second launch focuses the existing window

🏗️ Technical Details

  • Built with Electron 34 + Chromium for rendering
  • Native Win32 FFI via koffi for desktop integration
  • Persistent config via electron-store (%AppData%/DeskX Wallpaper Engine/)
  • Packaged with Electron Forge + Squirrel installer

📋 System Requirements

  • OS: Windows 10 / 11 (x64)
  • RAM: ~100–200 MB during use
  • Disk: ~120 MB installed
  • GPU: None required (hardware acceleration used when available)

⚠️ Known Notes

  • First launch after install may take a few seconds as Squirrel finalizes setup
  • Video codec support depends on Chromium's built-in decoders (MP4/H.264, WebM/VP9 work out of the box)
  • HTML wallpapers run in a sandboxed Chromium process — no filesystem access from the wallpaper page

Your desktop, your rules.
