About

repaper Demo

Try to imagine your desktop as a window, as it rains outside you see water droplets dripping down..as it snows you see it get frosted.. as sun rises & sets scenery changes realtime.

Thats the idea behind this software; What started out as a simple idea, after many months of work I present to you rePaper.

When running fullscreen applications or games rePaper will go to sleep (~0% cpu & gpu usage); no performance cost.

Check out my other Project Lively for a general purpose wallpaper system.

Download

I'm not working on this project anymore. For support please use my new & better wallpaper software "Lively" instead: https://rocksdanister.github.io/lively

Latest version: v0.5.3 (Windows 10, 8.1, 7)
  • rePaper.zip
    (SHA-256: d8c2e051fe2885d7b48201a390b98fc2f8c8e6cfaa50e9256352cbfeb1c64a49)

Unzip the file, select Start.exe to get started. First run will be slow.

To update application, just delete the folder and extract the new zip.

Note: Certain antivirus software may detect some processes of this application as virus. So far AVG has been reported as flagging rePaper as IDP.ALEXA.51 ; this is a false positive, similar to the case of Attila, Rome II, Warhammer II etc. Source. rePaper is fully opensource, you are free to check the code.

Save files & settings are stored in \Saved Games\rePaper.
