Audio by Display

• You can now choose which display's wallpaper is allowed to play audio.
• In Per-screen layout, only the wallpaper on the selected display will output sound.

Note: This feature is only available when using the "Grid" or "All process" pause algorithm.

Visualizer Audio Source

• You can now choose which audio device the wallpaper visualizer uses.
• The Default option follows the system's default playback device and updates automatically if the system default changes.
• If you pick a specific device, it will stay fixed and only switch if that device is disconnected.

Lively has grown so much over the years that it's no longer possible for me to personally test every feature or account for every way people use it. Joining the beta and reporting any issues early is a great way to help.

• You can now switch to Beta or Testing release directly from within the application.
• Test releases are updated more frequently and may contain bugs - join only if you're comfortable with potential issues.

Similarly you can switch back to the stable release, but because settings or configuration may change between versions, you might occasionally need to delete the settings file to fully revert.

When you encounter a problem, report it in the GitHub issues and mention that you're using the beta build.

Note: This feature is not available for Microsoft Store version.

Enhancements

• In Span layout, wallpaper pausing now depends on the "Display pause" rule:

Per screen: Pauses only when windows cover all screens. All screen: Pauses when a window covers any screen.

Fixes

• Fixed wallpapers not being cleaned up when a crash occurred during import.
• Fixed incorrect update notifications inside the app.
• Fixed application pause rules not applying correctly.
• Fixed language translation link not working.

Updates

• Updated MPV player.
• Updated CefSharp player.
• Updated community translation.
