MagicWall 0.4.0

MagicWall 0.4.0 keeps your wallpaper moving on battery, tells you why it stops, and ships the starter wallpapers in real quality.

What's new

• Plays on battery — the wallpaper no longer pauses when the Mac is unplugged. The battery rule is opt-in, and every automatic pause rule (battery, Low Power Mode, thermal pressure, screen lock, hidden desktop) is now remembered across launches instead of resetting to defaults.
• You always know why it stopped — the menu bar glyph switches to a pause symbol, the menu spells the reason out, and the first automatic stop shows an in-app notice with a one-click "Keep playing on battery".
• Starter wallpapers in real quality — the ready-made 4K clips now come in two tiers: High quality (~143 MB, x265 encodes from the 4K masters, SSIM ≥ 0.99) and Compact (~57 MB) for slow connections. Pick the tier in the first-launch sheet or in Settings → General; switching replaces the files in place, so favorites, categories and screen assignments stay.
• New starter clip — Colorful Underwater Scene (24 s loop), joining Dreamscape, Clover Rainbow, Aurora Forest and Cherry Blossom Spring.
• Smaller fixes: the engine now starts even when the library window never opens (launch at login), and a failed starter-wallpaper upgrade leaves the installed copy untouched.
