I. Core Interface and Workspace Detailed Explanation

After launching the app, the main interface is mainly divided into the following functional areas:

1. Top Navigation Bar: Contains core function tabs such as “Discover”, “My Wallpapers”, “Widgets”, “Folder Icons”, and “Settings”.
2. Left Category/Filter Area (located on the “Discover” page):
   • Wallpaper Categories: Anime & Cartoon, Beautiful Scenery, Cool Sports Cars, Cute Pets, Action Games, Beautiful Ancient Style, Beautiful Women, AI Artworks, Dance Art, etc.
   • Sorting Methods: Default Ranking, Popular Ranking, Favorite Ranking.
   • Type Filter: Dynamic Wallpapers, Static Wallpapers.

4. Right Preview and Operation Panel (Wallpaper Detail Page):
   • Large wallpaper preview window.
   • Operation buttons: “Set as Wallpaper”, “Favorite”, “Download” (if supported), etc.
   • Wallpaper information and settings options, such as playback speed, volume (for video wallpapers).
5. Desktop Widget Panel (“Widgets” page): Displays all available widgets in icon or list form, such as clock, calendar, battery, system monitor, etc., which can be directly dragged to the desktop.
6. Menu Bar Icon: The app resides in the menu bar; click to quickly switch wallpapers, open the main window, or enter settings.

This layout follows macOS application design guidelines, making it almost effortless to get started. The left filter area provides very detailed tags, for example, the “AI Artworks” category includes a large number of creative wallpapers generated by models like Stable Diffusion, which is rare among similar software.

II. Complete Operation Process: From Setting Wallpapers to Managing Desktop

1. Set Dynamic/Static Wallpapers

2. Create Custom Dynamic Wallpapers Using Local Videos

This feature is particularly practical. For example, if you recorded a slow-motion travel video or a game highlight reel, you can directly turn it into a desktop background, which is very personalized.

3. Add and Manage Desktop Widgets

4. Use Desktop Partition Masking to Organize Files

This feature is a lifesaver for those with many messy desktop files. You can create several “storage boxes” and put similar files into them. The desktop instantly becomes clean, while the dynamic wallpaper still flows around, providing an excellent visual experience.

III. Advanced Tips for Common Features

1. Quick Wallpaper Switching: Click the menu bar icon, and directly click a wallpaper name in the “Recently Used” or “My Favorites” list to switch instantly without opening the main window.
2. Wallpaper Playback Control: For video dynamic wallpapers, you can adjust playback speed and volume (even mute) in the menu bar icon drop-down menu or wallpaper detail page to suit different scenarios.
3. Smart Resource Management: In “Settings” -> “General”, you can set “Pause wallpaper playback when app is fullscreen” to save system resources, automatically achieving better performance during gaming or work.
4. Folder Icon DIY: In the “Folder Icons” tab, select preset icons or import local images, then drag them onto the folder you want to change to quickly replace the native icon, making the desktop style more unified.
5. Favorites and Organization: Be sure to click the “Favorite” button when you encounter a wallpaper you like. In “My Wallpapers” -> “Favorites”, you can quickly find all favorited content and create custom collections for management.

IV. Practical Case: Create a Work Desktop Balancing “Efficiency and Aesthetics”

Suppose you are a designer who frequently needs to switch between reference images, design drafts, and inspiration materials in your daily work. You can configure it as follows:

Step 1: Choose a Dynamic Wallpaper. In the “Beautiful Scenery” category on the “Discover” page, select a 4K slow-motion video wallpaper of waves lapping on the beach. Set it as the desktop, adjust the playback speed to 0.5x, and mute the volume. This provides an immersive atmosphere without distracting attention.

Step 2: Add Efficiency Widgets. Drag the “Clock” and “Calendar” widgets from the “Widgets” page to the top right corner of the desktop. Then drag a “System Monitor” widget to the top left corner to view CPU and memory usage in real-time, preventing background processes from slowing down design software.

Step 3: Create File Partitions. Create three “Desktop Mask” areas on the left side of the desktop, named “Inspiration Materials”, “Ongoing Projects”, and “Output Files”. Drag the corresponding folders into these areas. The opaque background of the mask areas makes file icons clearer and easier to read, while the wallpaper waves still flow around, maintaining visual pleasure.

Step 4: Set Multi-Screen Wallpapers. If your external monitor is used to display reference images, you can set a solid color or minimalist static wallpaper for the external monitor in “Multi-Screen Management” to avoid dynamic effects interfering with color judgment of reference images.

With the above configuration, your desktop maintains the cleanliness and efficiency required for design work while adding a touch of life through dynamic wallpapers and widgets, truly achieving “work as enjoyment”.
