elunboundfiremail/LiveWall---Live-Wallpaper-For-Desktop

Overview

LiveWall is a Windows desktop customization app that plays video as the desktop wallpaper and draws clock, weather and music widgets on top. You can use your own video file or choose from a built-in catalogue of scenes, then adjust pause, speed and looping. The interface is intended to stay usable because the wallpaper sits behind desktop icons, the taskbar and open windows.

Video files are referenced where they are, not copied, and the widget layer is independent of the background layer, so widget layout changes do not alter the video. Playback is also tied to visibility: the app is designed to stop consuming resources when the desktop is covered by windows README.

It is aimed at Windows users who want a moving desktop background without a subscription, including people who prefer their own footage or want lightweight on-screen widgets.

Getting started

1. Download the installer from livewall.lol or the LiveWall releases page.
2. Run the installer and follow its instructions.
3. Launch LiveWall.
4. Pick a video from the catalogue, or click Add video and select a file on your computer.
5. Set playback options: pause, speed and looping.
6. Add the clock, weather and music widgets and arrange them.
7. Apply the wallpaper.

The README describes these steps but does not provide system requirements, installer filenames or checksums, so those details need to be checked on the download page before installation.

Constraints

• The app is Windows-only; no macOS or Linux version is mentioned.
• It is described as free, with no subscription or licence fees, but the repository declares no open-source licence.
• The catalogue contents, widget providers and any network access needed for weather or music are not documented in the repository.
• No source code or build instructions are available in the repository; installation is through a prebuilt Windows installer.

HotRepo's take

The repository was recorded on the HotRepo new-project list for 2026-11-08, with 303 stars gained in about nine hours and 303 stars at the snapshot. It has no recorded GitHub daily rank. The listing shows rapid early attention, but the repository itself contains no detected programming-language code and no release details or licence are included here, so the ranking does not establish build quality or long-term maintenance. Readers should treat the listed download as an entry point to verify before running it.
