Frequently Asked Questions
How do I install scene?
Download the Windows installer from our SourceForge. You can run through with default settings, it should take less than a minute. Upon opening the app you are met with some example wallpapers which you can test out first before finding some of your own!
What Operating Systems does this work on?
Unfortunately, at the moment, scene is only a windows program, however we aim in the future to bring this to other platforms. If you want to rebuild this with functionality for different platforms, contact us and we can list your build.
Why are there artifacts/rendering issues?
Rendering problems used to and will continue to occur, generally with higher framerate/resolution as spanning images and rendering each frame out is quite a resourceful process. This is fixable by reducing resolution/framerate.
How much resources does this take up?
Generally this runs well on most computers and doesn't drain battery unless you are using a super resource-intensive background.
Can I use my own wallpapers?
Yes! Our app is based off running YOUR wallpapers. Find your own on websites or simply scan through images and you can import via our file explorer!
Does Scene support multiple monitors?
Scene supports multiple monitors. You can choose to either Span your wallpaper across them, using our dimensions controls as shown in the images above, or you can use Repeat mode which will display the same wallpaper on each of your monitors!
Will scene automatically launch on boot?
No, however you can add this functionality by using this command:
reg add "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" /v "Scene" /t REG_SZ /d "\"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\scene-launcher.exe\"" /f
If you installed to a custom directory you will have to change this accordingly.
Is Scene safe to use?
Scene is open source and the code is ready to view on SourceForge. We actually encourage users to read through and find bugs so we can make improvements along the way.
