  I bought this after reading the other positive reviews; unfortunately, I've had to give it the thumbs down for 2 main reasons. Firstly, the black background isn't at all black, it's a really grainy dark grey (looks like colour palette has been reduced to 256 colours and badly dithered). But the 2nd issue is the fact that upon exit, Kaspersky went crazy, saying that malware was on my computer (it detected fw.exe, which is the executable for this software) contained a trojan, and promptly deleted it. The fact that this hasn't even been out for a week, and it's being flagged as dangerous by antivirus an program means that this hasn't been tested by enough people on enough platforms to confirm if it's a false detection by my security software. But I'd rather not take any chances.

  I really want to recommend this software as it can create some amazing visuals however there are several issues that make it less than ideal for use as a permanent wallpaper. The main issue is that as long as it is running, Steam will pick it up as an active game which it definitely isn't. This is a background application (literally) that shouldn't alert anyone that it is running as it is almost never going to be the application the user is actively interacting with. I'd rather have friends know what game I'm playing instead of what wallpaper I have set. My other main complaint is how janky this software is when starting up or transitioning state from active to inactive. The application should start up in the background with the window hidden and the desktop background should then transition to the fluid simulation rather than whatever you have set in the Windows settings. The on screen items should fade in gently to make this even less jarring and this application could even use the wallpaper set in Windows as the background for the simulation. I don't want to see windows pop up all over the place with the software's logo as it sorts out the correct resolution. When suspending the simulation to allow games to play smoothly the current simulation should fade out and leave either the blank scene or the default Windows wallpaper. Currently it shows a logo with text stating that the application is pausing which doesn't look great at all as it often isn't even centered properly and isn't something anyone wants as a desktop wallpaper. Overall, if this application truly ran in the background and seamlessly enabled itself and seamlessly transitioned from enabled to disabled I would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for a cool animated wallpaper. As it stands, this is more of a sandbox toy than an actual usable product which is unfortunate as it is clear a lot of effort has gone into the development of the actual simulation. I just wish for more polish from the user experience aspect of this product.

  Beautiful colors, great animations, works without a problem, and most importantly, it doesn't overload the computer and you can play games.

  Probably the best bang for the buck I've ever had from a steam purchase. If you like lava lamps and things like it you'll enjoy this. I can and do watch it for ages. I love this thing! I'd put it on my wall on a 4k TV and just let it run if I could. I mean I actually might. 4k TV's are so cheap now that it seems kind of worthwhile. The software takes some tweaking but it's fun figuring out how to set it up. Music response is super cool if you have the volume setting correct in the app. I use my iPad as a second screen and a lot of the time its just so I can still see the cool visuals from this while I do something else on my main screen. Some feedback: -Could "length" be even shorter? -How about more customization so more stuff happens for faster songs and less for slow. Could it match the bpm of songs? -For music interaction let me customize exact colors for Bass/Mid/Treble bands -Better explanations of what each slider does -Have you seen the Plane9 screensaver? I feel like your wallpaper and their screensavers could combine into something amazing. Thanks for your amazing work! -I'd like more than 4 presets. And let me rename them. -It would be cool if I could set it to swap between presets randomly. -This ones a serious longshot, but if my Philips hue lights could connect to this so my lights were the same colors as the wallpaper that would be amazing. -Could you include a way to open this in a window?

  The mouse reactions are nice, but there is little to NO music reaction in this, little is actually a over statement. The visuals look cool, but not random enough imo, its just a directional color injection over and over again. Options only change small things about that. The presets the app has for music don't react with anything that I have tried. I spent too much time in the app, trying mess with setting and get visuals to react with anything that plays music, so now i don't get to refund.

  I bought this wallpaper in a package with two other wallpaper apps. (Music Visualizer Engine PC Live, and Energy Engine PC Live Wallpaper). All three crash Windows 10, and have bad glitches, like refusing to quit when I try to close the application. They are beautiful, though.
