  • Search forgives a typo, as the website does. "gren" shows the green wallpapers with "Showing results for green" under the search box, and a link to search for exactly what you typed instead. The series, category and artist lists do the same, each correcting towards its own names: "marathn" finds the Marathon series. Plurals find their singular too: "colors" finds everything tagged "color".
  • Send a wallpaper to the desktop and the login screen in one go, from the send menu. One download covers both.
  • With rotation off, "On your desktop" previews what rotation would put on next, dimmed, with a button to turn it on. Turning it on keeps that same wallpaper as up next.
  • A new version shows as a pill in the title bar until you update. Clicking it opens the download page.
  • The app checks for a new version while it runs, not only when it starts. A copy left in the tray for days hears about a release within an hour of the day it is due.
  • The tray icon turns green while rotation is on, instead of showing a small green dot in the corner.
  • New type on the cards. Titles are set in Space Grotesk, the site's heading face, and the lines under them (artist, resolution, counts, "Now" and "Up next") in Windows' own font, in normal case. The monospaced type they replace spaced its letters unevenly at small sizes.
  • "Loading", "Downloading" and the other messages over a picture are in normal case too.
  • Sharp fit icons. Fill, Fit, Stretch, Center and Span are drawn for your display's scaling, so every line lands on whole pixels instead of blurring across two. Fill's brackets sit in the corners, and Span shows a dotted seam where the two screens meet.
  • The System appearance icon shows its dark half filled in, and the send menu's arrow is lighter, matching the icons beside it.
  • A tidier startup card: "Starting…" sits centred under the mark instead of leaning left of it, and the WALLNODE wordmark is set tighter. The installer's side panel matches.
  • "Up next" no longer shows the wallpaper that is already on your desktop.
  • Turning rotation on or off from the tray updates the home page straight away.
  • "Next change in 3 hours" is in the same type as the buttons beside it.
  • In a narrow window your email folds down to its icon instead of covering the last items of the menu, every time, however the window is resized.
  • The home page keeps its full number of columns at every window size. At the smallest it dropped to two, leaving a third of the row empty.
