Unfortunately there's no Linux version, and the developer doesn't seem interested in open sourcing. It might work by running in Wine and using some shell script to apply the generated image as the wallpaper, though I don't know how well it would work with multiple monitors.

this is actually really cool, but it seems to use the same background for each screen separately (instead of just using one for both screens) for me so i end up with this monstrosity:

any idea on how to fix that?
separating the wallpapers, putting them into a folder and specifying that works, but that randomizes which screen gets which wall and also sometimes gives both screens the same picture, pretty annoying

Hmm, have you tried setting it to "One picture for the whole desktop" in the bottom right dropdown on the main settings page?

Yeah, that looks nicer. You could always just find some seamless texture and use that as the backdrop instead

Here's mine, I found some renders of Vivi so I decided to make a wallpaper out of it.

Nothing really special.  Just default GNOME and a waifu wallpaper.  Just need to get work and games done and I am good.

How do you skin Windows 10? Last time I tried, I read that something in last November's update made it impossible.

I'd also like to know how to do this, I'm starting to get tired of the metro look.

Not the guy you're talkin' to but I had the exact same theme and this is the guide I followed: http://neiio.deviantart.com/art/How-to-Install-Custom-Themes-262833454

I haven't bothered to do it again because last time my computer updated and I had to reset it to get it to work again. :/

I uh... I think the image is broken.

Shows up for me. Strange. I'll fix it in a little bit

Well. I'm new here but figured I'd share. I prefer minimalism (as if you can't tell.) I have two HP 25xw's that sit at 1920x1080@60Hz.
Wallpaper I use is about 5x the size of the resolution so it looks pretty damn sharp when Windows scales it down.

On @[deleted] 's request I purchased Wallpaper Engine on steam. and ho-lee-fuk. PC lvl upgraded.

Is it weird that I've never seen bit depth expressed as bytes?
