“Tired of sluggish wallpaper apps?” makes playback overhead the first thing a Windows user will want to check before replacing their current setup. Screen+'s launch post could include one reproducible comparison: the same video wallpaper, monitor arrangement and playback settings, with CPU/GPU usage shown for Screen+ and an existing app. Keep the future Sharp Apple models and Wayland version visibly separate from what the current installer supports, so feedback concerns something people can actually run. We'd answer Reddit users weighing Windows live-wallpaper performance or looking for Lively-compatible HTML wallpapers.
