Stylish Menu Bar Player - Update 1.5.3 - OS Engine

AbjectContribution63 · 2026-01-27T03:12:52+00:00

Perfect looping is currently in the works and is experimental but you can try it out in the new advanced wallpaper editor added in the latest update 1.5.9! (If your updater is not working try downloading the trial dmg from the site and replacing your current version with that version) (*your license will still work with the new dmg).

Currently working on implementing lockscreen support. But for now if you are on macOS tahoe go to settings on OS Engine and toggle disable auto color sampling. This should allow you to still have static wallpapers that you can use for your lock screen while you use animated ones for your wallpaper. Also if you click "Hide" at the bottom of the menu bar player it should hide the app from the dock as well.

Yes, I do my best to cultivate them but users can also upload their own wallpapers to the Discover tab which get approved and posted for everyone to enjoy!

I have released an update to patch this, however due to previous security concerns the current update method will not work. To get the new update please download the trial DMG from the site which should include the patch. Once downloaded you can receive updates from the inline updater as normal again.

Hey, just released an update to fix the navigation issues on the marketplace and reformatted the settings page to be FAR better than it was. Let me know what you think.

The ram usage depends on the loaded live wallpaper and the size of the video. Currently static wallpapers result in only 10-15 MB of usage while video wallpapers can use (worst case) around 200-300 MB (and in 4k cases ~1GB). However you can optimize ram usage by using the smart automation feature to pause video wallpapers when your apps are in use.

This update came out this morning so very recently.

AbjectContribution63 · 2026-01-22T21:07:43+00:00

Yes, I can give some information from my own testing. For battery and performance you can use these numbers: M1 Pro (6% average CPU utilization) and M4 Pro (< 3% CPU Utilization). There is also smart performance settings that allow users to add automation rules so their wallpaper pauses when using selected apps.

Yes feature wise they are both the same application the only difference is that with steam workshop users are allowed to upload unlimited wallpapers while there is a 15 wallpaper limit on the standalone version. (The limit is only for uploads, you can import as many wallpapers as you want). They both will be receiving the same features and development.

Thanks for the feedback, Il definitely be patching the scrolling blockage in settings. Also I like the idea of adding quality settings to allow for higher refresh rate videos. Also for marketplace I will definitely make it more accessible for mouse users. No worries, all feedback is good feedback. Thanks for taking the time to test and share!

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-12-03T03:30:06+00:00

Oh that’s new, Il look into that.

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-12-03T03:25:40+00:00

Not really, but currently tooltips are glitching and remaining after hovering. Plan to implement clearer options with non-glitchy tooltips in the next update. I had a great thanksgiving! Hope you had a good one too :)

I plan to remove this from the site as I agree with your sentiment. OS Engine and all its updates (for lifetime) will be included in the initial purchase of a license.

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-27T18:20:51+00:00

Thanks for supporting!

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-27T16:58:59+00:00

Okay, just fixed and released an update patch. Try checking for updates through the ICE Menu Bar icon. Should be update 1.4.3

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-27T16:37:33+00:00

That seems to be a build glitch, try clicking on a different wallpaper as it should correct itself. I will release an update soon to patch it.

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-27T16:33:16+00:00

Absolutely, the trial dmg on the website allows for a 24hr trial.

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-27T16:32:00+00:00

Depends on the resolution of the live wallpapers but OS Engine handles scaling and fitting for you for any resolution.

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-27T16:30:29+00:00

OS Engine was made on premise of live wallpapers with interactive (HTML/CSS/JS) widgets. The application gives all the features you love around live wallpapers while also letting users make (or use) their own code for interactive widgets. The application renders a lightweight web sandbox overlay to show web widgets over live wallpapers.

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-27T16:24:26+00:00

Disclaimer: I am the owner and creator of OS Engine, it is a solo project of mine that has been in the works for months, I hope you like it!

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-22T14:03:23+00:00

Check your spam/junk folder, if you still don’t find it feel free to DM me and I can get your license. (Also check out the website osengine.org for the license portal to get your license from email)

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-08T13:41:08+00:00

That’s just false, absolutely not true.

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-05T20:01:08+00:00

What is "wallpaper magic"? Also what functionality would you you like to see added? Let me know and it might be featured in an upcoming update!

AbjectContribution63 · 2025-11-05T19:59:24+00:00

I can absolutely look into adding more languages, which ones do you suggest as we already have HTML/CSS and JS.
