Download the .dmg file to local and drag the .app application file under /Applications folder
Hey! This is a revamp of "Open Wallpaper Engine" by Haren Chen, from adding new features to refining existing ones, this new project serves as a continuation to his original concept.

如果您有兴趣为这个项目做出贡献，不介意的话加一下呗，以便我们可以更方便地沟通。
Check the File Menu
Then select Folder of your wallpaper to be imported
A normal wallpaper folder should like this (video wallpaper):
- wallpaper_folder_name
- wallpaper_video_name.mp4
- project.json
- preview.gif
So far, only format from Wallpaper Engine is supported. That means you can't directly drag a .mp4 file in and let it animate your desktop screen. We'll fix that soon.
If you would like to make contribute to this project or for some other purposes, then you probably should at least build once. Here're the steps:
- macOS >= 13.0
- Xcode >= 14.4
- Xcode Commandline Tools
First, fork and clone your forked repo or just clone this repo directly if you don't plan to be a contributor. If you're in China, you'd better set up a HTTPS Proxy first to avoid failure due to bad connection or poor download speed.
git clone https://github.com/MrWindDog/wallpaper-engine-macAnd then open the directory in Xcode.
open open-wallpaper-engine-mac -a /Applications/Xcode.appChange Signine Certificate to your own or select 'Sign to Run Locally'
Then press command ⌘ + R to build and run
This project's documentation can be build with docc. I'll upload the documentation link automatically built by github action here later.
