Certainly not an essencial app, butt anyway cool to customize the Desktop, it permits to use animated, interactive or parallax backgrounds for our desktop. Capanle also to convert in seconds normal images in parallax images. Lightweight (depends naturally which image and videos we use as background, but the app put it in pause when we have an fullscreen app or game working.

Where was it when I was buying Wallpaper Engine? How does it actually compare to the wallpaper engine?
