Flutter Wallpaper Engine

Despite all the necessary and anticipated changes that Windows 11 has brought to the table so far, users are still limited to static imagery as the only file type that can be set as their desktop wallpaper.

If you have been searching for a way to animate your PC’s background without having to settle for a range of preloaded clips and concept art, then Flutter Wallpaper Engine may be the right tool for setting any video of your choice as your desktop wallpaper with little hassle and just a couple of clicks.

Thanks to the program’s portable nature, users can easily attach it to their USB flash drive-powered on-the-go setups to instantly run them while avoiding long and unnecessary installation wizards. Once its files are extracted, double-clicking the app’s executable sends it to the system tray, where users can explore its straightforward capabilities.

Those with mouse-based workflows will be at an advantage because, while the program does not boast any sort of user interface, interacting with it is done by double-clicking its icon to display the video selection screen and right-clicking it to stop its process and revert to the original static wallpaper.

While the program can reload the last selected video when restarting it to avoid manually picking it every time, the biggest problem lies with its very implementation of the video playback process. Depending on the video’s resolution, the program may not be able to play it at a constant frame rate if you have lower-end hardware, since it uses a significant percentage of your CPU power and available RAM.

After the video is selected, it is played only once, with no option for endless looping, meaning that users would have to manually edit their video to be hours long to avoid frequent interruptions, since the program displays the last frame as the wallpaper when it is done playing.

Finally, users with multiple monitor-setups will be at a disadvantage since only one screen can have a certain video applied at a time.

If you happen to have long videos of animations or important memories that you want to cherish from the comfort of your desktop, Flutter Wallpaper Engine can help you set them as your background with only a couple of clicks.
