III. Advanced Tips for Common Features

   When focusing on dynamic wallpapers, you can temporarily hide all desktop file icons. Click the menu bar icon and check “Hide Desktop Icons” (or use the shortcut configured in Preferences). Uncheck again to restore.

2. Smart Energy-Saving Management

   In “Preferences → General”, make full use of the “Pause when using other apps” and “Pause on battery” features. This ensures the dynamic wallpaper only runs when you are enjoying the desktop, without affecting work performance and battery life.

3. Multi-Display Differentiated Settings

   If you have multiple monitors, you can specify different dynamic wallpapers or playlists for each monitor in “Preferences → Displays” to create a more layered desktop environment.

4. Break Reminder Feature

   Enable “Break Reminder” in “Preferences → General” and set the interval (e.g., 50 minutes). When the time comes, Hanami will pop up a reminder and automatically pause wallpaper playback to remind you to rest your eyes.

5. Global Shortcut Customization

   Go to “Preferences → Shortcuts” to assign your preferred global shortcuts to common operations such as “Switch Wallpaper”, “Show/Hide Desktop Icons”, “Show Screensaver”, etc., for quick control.
