WinDynamicDesktop brings macOS Mojave-style dynamic desktop wallpapers to Windows, with themes and scheduling.
About WinDynamicDesktop
WinDynamicDesktop ports the macOS Mojave Dynamic Desktop feature to Windows 10 and 11. It is available on GitHub and the Microsoft Store. Users can pick from bundled macOS themes, browse hundreds of themes online or create their own, choose a schedule for cycling wallpaper images over 24 hours, and extend behavior with PowerShell scripts.
It is developed primarily for Windows 11 but should run on Windows 7 or newer; Windows Insider builds are not officially supported. It cannot show separate images on multiple virtual desktops. Entering a location uses the LocationIQ API to convert it to latitude and longitude, and the Microsoft Store app uses the Windows location API if permission is granted.
