These builds are not code-signed, so the first launch needs one extra step.

macOS — right-click the app ▸ Open ▸ Open, or clear the quarantine flag:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/LiveWall.app

Windows — SmartScreen ▸ More info ▸ Run anyway.

LiveWall lives in the menu bar / system tray. Closing the window leaves your wallpapers running; quit from the tray menu.

In this release

• Video (H.264 MP4, VP8/VP9 WebM) and image (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, animated GIF) wallpapers, behind your desktop icons
• A different wallpaper per monitor, or one clip spanned across every display
• Drag-to-arrange canvas with magnetic edge snapping, controlling how a spanned image is sliced — without touching your system display arrangement
• Fill / fit / blur / stretch, plus zoom to 4× and pan to pick exactly which part of the image lands on which screen
• Frame-aligned playback across monitors showing the same clip
• Hot-plug aware — each screen gets its wallpaper back after a replug
• Pause on battery, launch at login, per-monitor Identify flash

Known limits

• Builds are unsigned; see above.
• Pause-for-fullscreen is Windows-only — macOS already throttles occluded desktop windows.
• No bundled ffmpeg. .mov/.mkv often carry codecs Chromium can't decode; a file that fails is reported in the library rather than showing a silent black screen.
