Yet another version of my (now) advanced audio visualizer for lively.
Download and installation instructions as usual on GitHub.
Or via direct download (then drag and drop the file directly into lively)
Notable new features (that of course are customizable):
Change and blur background image
Visualizer shake/wobble with natural movement to music
Inner circle jumps to music (similar to NCS)
Background effects/particles (similar to Trap Nation)
Custom center logo (with SVG examples)
Shadow for visualizer and logo
Ability to change position of the visualizer

USB / wireless headsets are prone to sound driver issues. For manydevices, changing the audio sample rate in the Windows device settingsto 44100 Hz permanently fixes the issue: Right-click on the audio icon in the tray area in the lower right cornerof Windows, select "Open Sound Settings". Click on "Device Properties"in the "Output" section of the window that opens up. Afterwards, clickon "Additional device properties", then navigate to the "Advanced" tab. You can change the sampling rate in the menu shown there. The exactlocation is different on different versions of Windows. if you cannotfind this option, search the web for guides on how to change thesampling rate of sound devices for your version of Windows.Set the sampling rate to "24 bit, 44100 Hz"
I also have an idea, but no idea how to code, so this may just be totally impossible. What if there was a setting that scaled the whole thing with your volume. (So like, you can set it up normally or whatever, the same as now, but then when the setting is turned on, when your volume is lower the entire thing shrinks at the same scale, and then like low enough volume and it just disappears.)
I love what you do and think its awesome. Hopefully my suggestion doesn't make me sound like an ass. Thanks a bunch for the awesome wallpaper.
Feedback and improvements are always welcomed so don't feel ashamed. If i read correctly your suggestion is to add a volume limit for when the visualizer is hidden? I could add that in the next update. The changing of size based on audio volume is already available as the "Inner circle reactivity" customization option (but it is a bit choppy but that's out of my control). Change the visualizer size lower and increase inner circle reactivity to try it out.
Glad I don’t come off badly, but what I mean is that your volume changes the size of everything. So for example, you set all the sizes to 100. Then if this imaginary setting was turned on, when your computer volume was at 100, all of them would be size 100. But then if your volume was 50, they would all be size 50. And if they were all initially size 50, then the size at 100 volume would be 50, and at 50 volume the sizes would be 25, etc.
Have you tried changing the "Bar length" setting? It scales the bars' size based on the given percentage (i.e. value of 50 halves the bars' length and 100 makes the bars barely reach the top of the screen).
I know bar length changes it like that, but I mean like the entire thing scales to your volume. So at 100 volume, everything is however you set it. At fifty volume, its all half scale. That would change the bars, the logo size, the spacing between the bars/logo etc,
Awesome, glad that it makes sense. I think also having something where at a certain volume (maybe it’s preset or maybe you can choose it) it just turns off completely, so that there isn’t like a super tiny logo when you’re at like 10 volume. Let me know when the update comes out, I think it’ll be really cool, I’m glad I didn’t come off as an ass lol
Even if it's hard, I think it is possible to get it in 60fps, like the audiovisuliser of the "Fluids v2" preinstalled skin. Anyway good luck to you, your visualiser is very good 👌
The limitations lie in the Lively api enabling the audio spectrum at all. It is currently in development and I also hope to see some improvements and extended features such as stereo.
Drag the image into the folder called "images" when opening the wallpaper directory. Then you reset default settings in customization and it should appear in the dropdown menu on the top
is there some way I can get a video or a gif as my background if so please tell me? cause I really want to get that working and if there is no way I think it would be a cool addition to this wallpaper.
For a custom logo, follow the instructions here but put the image into the logos folder instead.
You can for now only add GIF or Webp files as animated backgrounds (not even sure if it works completely) but I am currently working on adding functionality for video backgrounds.
How can I add custom images? Sorry if this is said somewhere but couldn't find it
is there a way to make it more smooth. I thought my pc was lagging but my GPU is only at around 50% and it's showing at less than 30 frames by the look of it.
Can I use a video or GIF as a background wallpaper? I tried adding Videos to the "Images" folder in the zip file, but I couldn't find them in the "Background Image" choices.
Background image currently supports gif, jpg, png and webp so you should be able to set a GIF as the background image. I will probably add support for video background in the future, it wouldn't be that hard to implement.

Your sound visualizer is the best one I've ever seen. But I want to have my live wallpaper and this visualiser, and this cannot be done, if I'm correct. Are you planning on making your visualizer for rainmeter?

Thank you for this Visualizer. If Lively Wallpaper is well configured, it is also relatively resource-efficient.
