For example, it can run on its own (no Steam or WeGame client installation is required), and it has a smaller file size, less system footprint, better and more stable performance. Their features are basically the same, but Lively Wallpaper is already better in many ways.

It is considered the best alternative to Wallpaper Engine. Lively Wallpaper (Lively for short) is currently the best free and open-source animated/multimedia desktop wallpaper & screensaver application for Windows 10+, developed by rocksdanister (Dani John) from India (written in C#). Unfortunately, it is not only available for a fee, but also requires third-party apps like Steam and WeGame to run. Because its wallpaper resources are the most abundant and cool. Of course, this is a dynamic desktop wallpaper edge tool that makes your desktop look as cool as possible. When it comes to live wallpaper/desktop, many users will think of the famous Wallpaper Engine. They include a variety of settings to change the look of desktop and application, but that’s only limited to the theme (wallpaper + style + color). Even the latest Windows 10/11 doesn’t offer this feature. On Windows, you can’t use GIFs, videos, or Web addresses as dynamic desktop wallpaper by default (Windows Vista’s DreamScene function is an exception).

On Android phones, setting up an animated background is a very simple process, as this feature has been integrated into all Android app launchers. Although you can increase the amount and change frequency of wallpapers, it is still not so cool and visually stunning as using GIF, video and other dynamic resources as a desktop wallpaper. No matter how beautiful a static wallpaper is, it will be boring for mobile phone/computer users after a long time.
