ScreenPlay is an Open-Source Live Wallpaper and Widgets app for Windows & macOS (and soon Linux) written in modern C++/Qt/QML and is in active development since early 2017 on Gitlab.

macOS support

This release of ScreenPlay now works on macOS. This is an early alpha version so expect things to break, but the basic functionally should work. Be aware this is based on Qt 5.15.2 so it does not yet include native Apple Silicone support. A Qt 6.2 version of ScreenPlay with native m1 support is already on its way.

Getting there wasn’t easy. The build script have been rewritten in python to work on all platforms, platform dependent behavior like autostart, translations, packaging and signing had to be build from the ground up. All in all this took about 6 months to implement. Please report any issue you encounter here.

Steam-less builds

From the beginning of the Steam integration ScreenPlay was designed to be shipped easily as a fully FOSS version, without any proprietary code. Steam was meant for fast installations and updates. Many of you voiced the need for a version of ScreenPlay without Steam. ScreenPlay continuos integration now builds a Steam and none Steam version. This is only the first step into bringing ScreenPlay to more platforms like brew or chocolatey.
