Wallpaper that
leaves the GPU alone.
AeroFloat started as a local Windows engine: 4K decode under desktop icons, then a full unload when a fullscreen title owns the display. No account. No telemetry. No storefront hype.
Genesis vision
The desktop should move. The game should not pay for it.
Most live-wallpaper stacks keep a decoder warm while you play. AeroFloat watches the Win32 foreground and detaches Media Foundation in Deep Sleep. The product problem is power and frame-time, not “cinematic lifestyle.”
- Impact Idle CPU/GPU while a game or player owns the screen
- Constraint Per-user install, no admin, files stay on disk
- Honesty SmartScreen reputation is not a malware verdict — and not hidden
Operational utility
What the site actually lets you do
The homepage lab estimates decode cost, Deep Sleep savings, display match, compatibility, and a file-size budget for looping MP4s. Those numbers are models, not a hardware warranty. The Windows app remains the source of truth.
