rePaper Alternatives

rePaper

Try to imagine your desktop as a window, as it rains outside you see water droplets dripping down..as it snows you see it get frosted.. as sun rises & sets scenery changes realtime.

Thats the idea behind this software; What started out as a simple idea, after many months of work I present to you rePaper.

When running fullscreen applications or games rePaper will go to sleep (~0% cpu & gpu usage); no performance cost.

Check out my other Project Lively for a general purpose wallpaper system.
Features:

-Video file as wallpaper support (Hardware Accelerated Playback optional)
-Most of the processing is done via gpu shaders, low cpu usage.
-Weather effect appearance is customisable:- raindrop size, speed, blur intensity etc.
-Openweathermap API used to gather weather information. (most of these weather conditions are supported: https://openweathermap.org/weather-conditions )
-Real-time day/night cycle based on sunrise-sunset time.
-rePaper will pause when running fullscreen application or games (~0% cpu & gpu usage; main execution thread is stopped, background thread used for monitoring).
