Abstract live wallpapers
The Abstract collection is a set of generative shaders: programs that draw every frame on the spot, on your GPU, instead of replaying a video. Smoke that never repeats, plasma, contour lines, a circuit board, an oscilloscope, a noise field with dozens of settings and even the bouncing logo of old screensavers.
A shader is the lightest kind of live wallpaper: there is no video file to decode and it stays sharp at any resolution, from a MacBook to a 5K display. It runs on Metal on the Mac and on DirectX 11 on Windows.
