"Backgrounds is, as the name implies, a Desktop background utility that truly, madly, deeply thinks different. Instead of merely changing the photo, Backgrounds changes everything" -Mac360

"It is designed for Mac users who want to make the backgrounds of their computer screens more attractive, stylish, and dynamic. This can be done by adding brand new features and helpful widgets to your screen to achieve an exquisite and original desktop appearance." -mac.informer

"Great App! The simplicity yet performance and customization is impressive! Nice job! XB" -Xan Bar

"My favorite thing is that it doesn’t compress video if you choose a video as a wallpaper, so my native 4k videos don’t get degraded." -rkzemke

password

Hi developer, can you add (login and) password to awake Mac when it plays as screensaver? Or back to Login Window is OK too.

You can set the password in System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Require password...

High CPU usage

Awesome app with a lot of possibilities, unfortunately the CPU usage is way to high when using video (around 65% all the time) and I think that this only because the app uses Quicktime. I hope that there will be a fix for this because I can't really use it right know.

Reactie van ontwikkelaar ,

What Mac are you using? Have you tried the newer versions?
