WallCraft on Real Desktops.
Example desktop layouts created with WallCraft live wallpapers and widgets.
Topo Curves & Live Media
Precision digital clock, live weather, and Windows SMTC media player.
Neon Waves & Hardware Telemetry
PresentMon GPU/CPU telemetry, circular audio spectrum, and inspiration quote wall.
Amber Horizon & Zen Focus
Focus timer, per-app independent volume mixer, and lower app dock.
Cosmic Nebula & Network Monitor
Live network graph, analog clock, animated Battery Hub, and SMTC media integration.
Minimalist Workspace & Calendar
Calculator, interactive task board, mini calendar, and 24x24 magnetic grid snapping.
Aurora Borealis & World Clocks
Live currency rates, multi-timezone world clocks, and circular audio visualizer.
Shader, Magnetic Grid, OSD & Audio Mixer.
WebGL 2.0 engine running on Windows DWM (WorkerW), 24×24 pixel-precision magnetic grid, WASAPI audio control, and always-on-top in-game OSD pin mode.
Browser simulations — not real GPU, audio or FPS measurements. The grid demo is simplified to 8×4 cells.
Dynamic Shader Core
A GLSL fragment and multi-pass FBO pipeline for GPU-accelerated live wallpapers. The interaction below is a browser simulation.
Audio Mixer & Spectrum
Independent volume levels and live peak meters for master output and every running process via Windows Core Audio.
Magnetic Grid & Snapping
Snap widgets cleanly to 24×24 cells and center axes without pixel overflow. Save independent multi-monitor compositions with display profiles.
OSD & Always-On-Top (Pin Mode)
Pin widgets above application windows. Click-through mode lets you use the window underneath while keeping the HUD visible.
Pauses wallpaper animation when a full-screen game is detected to reduce background work. Actual resource usage depends on your hardware and settings.
Uses direct Windows API calls for desktop placement and input bridges instead of launching extra CLI processes.
Track instantaneous FPS, frametime (ms), and GPU wait latency directly on your desktop via an 800-frame ring buffer listening to swapchain present signals.
Build & Share Your Own World.
WallCraft is not a walled garden. Build widgets with standard HTML5/JS, live 3D shaders with WebGL 2.0 GLSL, and 24×24 grid presets; publish to the community marketplace in one click.
Modular Widget Development
Code rich desktop widgets safely inside an isolated sandbox using standard HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, and Canvas API — with no need for C++, Rust, or external toolchains.
