What’s new:

• Don’t forget to checkout Lively’s reddit page for more animated Wallpapers: https://www.reddit.com/r/LivelyWallpaper/
• New Performance setting: Pause wallpaper when on battery power (Laptops/UPS.)
(Web wallpapers will look blank when paused, this is a known limitation that will be addressed in future update.)
• Span wallpaper playback behavior change:

  1. Only Pause Wallpaper if foreground application is stretched across all displays when “Per Display” display rule is selected under Performance settings.
  2. Pause wallpaper if foreground application is maximized in any monitor when “All Display(s)” is selected.

• (Web) New dropdown control for web interaction, “Folder Dropdown”
Automatically populates the dropdown menu based on the folder contents.

• (Web) “Restore to Default” option for customisable wallpapers, restores wallpaper properties to original value (Existing wallpapers from pre v0.9 will restore to last saved value)
• (Web) ColorDialog default color will be previously selected color.
• Turned off Deferred Scrolling for Library list (wallpaper tile preview as you scroll.)
• Some UI changes/tweaks.

Fixes:

• (Web) Fixed several issues with customisable web wallpapers on multiple monitor systems: #23
• Wallpaper file checking is skipped during library loading in-order to stop disk power-on/activity each time lively is launched from tray (when wallpapers is on separate drive.)
• Windows 7 wallpaper disappearing fix (still not officially supported by me, just update your system people _)

Important Notice:

• Auto update might fail due to smartscreen filter, the setup is downloaded to “Documents/Lively Wallpaper/tmpdata/update.exe”

Known Issues:

• Screensaver might get disabled when using default video players, as a temporary fix:
“Open Windows media player rightclick empty area top - > Tools - > Options and then select Allow screen saver during playback.” or use DirectShow videoplayer.
• Automatic Library Import is currently disabled for “Duplicate” wallpaper mode.
• Video stutter with default video players in some systems, as a temporary fix use mpv.
• Scrollbar might appear in web wallpaper after adding to library, as a temporary fix restart wallpaper.
• (old) Image resize in wallpaper creator is not multithreaded yet, UI will not respond temporarily for large images (“Export Lively .zip” is the recommend method.)
