WinDynamicDesktop is a wallpaper changer that brings macOS Mojave's Dynamic Desktop feature to Windows 10 and 11.
The tool solves the problem of static desktop backgrounds by automatically cycling through a series of wallpaper images on a schedule throughout the day. It works by allowing users to select from bundled macOS themes, download hundreds of community themes, or create custom themes, then configure a 24-hour schedule that determines when each image displays. The application also supports extending functionality through PowerShell scripts that users can share with others.
WinDynamicDesktop suits anyone wanting an animated, time-aware desktop experience without manual intervention. It works on Windows 7 and newer, though it is developed primarily for Windows 11. The tool is available through multiple distribution channels including GitHub releases, the Microsoft Store, Chocolatey, and WinGet. Users should be aware of known issues including wallpaper fit settings not being remembered in the Microsoft Store version and occasional wallpaper update failures. The tool cannot display separate images across multiple virtual desktops.
The project maintains an active build pipeline and accepts community contributions through translation efforts and script sharing. Development is focused on Windows 11 as the primary target while maintaining backward compatibility with older Windows versions.
