windynamicdesktop

WinDynamicDesktop brings the macOS Mojave Dynamic Desktop feature to Windows. It is developed primarily for Windows 11 but is described as running on any device with Windows 7 or newer; Windows Insider builds are not officially supported. The app is distributed via GitHub releases, the Microsoft Store, Chocolatey and WinGet. The core behavior is a schedule that cycles through wallpaper images over a 24-hour period. Users can pick from bundled macOS themes, browse hundreds of themes available online, or create their own themes. A theme creator tool for the .ddw format is linked from the project, and a wiki page documents creating custom themes. Extensibility is provided through PowerShell scripts, which can modify the app's behavior and be shared with other users through a separate scripts repository. The project also links to a POEditor project for translations. The README lists known issues, including wallpaper fit not being remembered in the Microsoft Store app and wallpaper getting stuck without updating. A stated limitation is that separate images cannot be shown on multiple virtual desktops. Disclaimers note that wallpaper images belong to Apple, that the LocationIQ API is used to convert an entered location to latitude and longitude, that the Microsoft Store app uses the Windows location API when permission is granted, and that the app icon is licensed under CC 3.0 BY.
