In 1989, a free software program called xgifroot was released that allowed an arbitrary color GIF image to be used as wallpaper, and in the same year the free xloadimage program was released which could display a variety of image formats (including color images in Sun Rasterfile format) as the desktop background. The X Window System was one of the earliest systems to include support for an arbitrary image as wallpaper via the xsetroot program, which at least as early as the X10R3 release in 1985 could tile the screen with any solid color or any binary-image X BitMap file. A large selection of presets and effects allow you to animate your own images and share them on the Steam Workshop or to just use them for yourself.Original computer wallpaper pattern, as used in Xerox's Officetalk and Star Choose from over a million free wallpapers from the Steam Workshop with new wallpapers being uploaded every day!

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.
