Having a dedicated GPU is highly recommended, but not required. As a general rule of thumb, 3D, 2D and video based wallpapers will perform best, while websites and applications will require more resources from your system. Many options to tweak quality and performance allow you to make Wallpaper Engine fit your computer perfectly.
You can choose to automatically pause or completely stop the wallpaper while using another application or playing fullscreen (including borderless windowed mode) to not distract or hinder you while playing a game or working. Wallpaper Engine aims to deliver an entertaining experience while using as few system resources as possible.

If there's not, then thank you for taking the time to read this post.Wallpaper Engine enables you to use live wallpapers on your Windows desktop. If there's any way anyone can help me, then I'd greatly appreciate it if you did. I created a persona.ini file within the folder, and made the text match that of the waterfall video, with changes made to the "Name" "Author" and "Version" sections. I put in my video, and thumbnail, both renamed to fit the files in the waterfall wallpaper. I extracted the files in its zip to my desktop, and created a new folder. I downloaded the animated wallpaper with the waterfall. My process is as follows, if that may shed any light on this. The file explorer closes when I click to open the file, but the browser itself doesn't seem to have any desire to recognize it. Whenever I try to load in the wallpaper archive, literally nothing happens. I'm using the latest version of Opera GX (updated on the day I post this, June 2nd). If you have the time, I'd greatly appreciate it if you could help me figure out why I haven't been able to get the results I want. They really do seem to be helpful and well informed, so I think I'm doing something wrong on my end. I saw your replies in this thread, and another similar thread. Then, in Opera, click the easy-setup button at the right of the address bar, scroll down to the start page section, click "add your wallpaper" and point it to my_theme.zip. You then take personal.ini, the jpeg file, and the webm file and zip them up together into my_theme.zip. So, to make your own animated wallpaper, you create a persona.ini that references a jpeg and a webm file. Open persona.ini in a text editor to see how it references first_frame_start_page.jpeg and video.webm. In it, you'll see persona.ini, first_frame_start_page.jpeg, and video.webm. In the themes folder you'll see "beautiful-waterfall.zip". In the profile folder, there's a themes folder. Close Opera and goto the profile folder in Windows Explorer/File Explorer. Then, goto the URL opera://about and take note of the "profile" path. Burnout426 Volunteer last edited Goto and install that animated wallpaper.
