This wallpaper syncs with OpenRGB, receiving color data and illuminating your wallpaper like a dazzling light show!
Many thanks to qiangqiang101 for the amazing program, I was inspired by this idea to create my own simple one with little frontend and backend.
Demo video:
- It supports only 1 color channel.
- It requires this server to run.
- It has problems with "Playback" parameters in Wallpaper engine, so you should replace all
pauseoptions withStop (free memory)otherwise it will crash a few minutes later. - When starting a new pm2 process, ensure that no other instances are already running to avoid encountering multiple errors.
- Ensure you have node.js installed (I'm using 16.20.1 version).
- Clone or download the repository.
- Install dependencies:
$ npm install. - Build the project:
$ npm run build. - Launch OpenRGB software.
- In OpenRGB Settings > E1.31 Devices, add a new device with the provided parameters.
| IP (Unicast) | 127.0.0.1 |
| Start Universe | 1 |
| Start Channel | 1 |
| Number of LEDs | 1 |
| Type | Single |
| RGB Order | RGB |
| Universe size | 6 |
- Run WallpaperEngine and select the wavy wallpaper.
- Input your server port (default:
9734, configurable inconfig.json).
After installation, start the server with $ npm run start. Alternatively, use the pm2 module to run this as a process: $ npm install pm2 -g and launch it with a single click using run.bat. Monitor the process with pm2 list and manage it with pm2 delete <id> or pm2 restart <id>.
Thank you!
