Magic Window 4K at Mac App Store analyse

Magic Window 4K brings your desktop to life with relaxing slow moving timelapse views for your wallpaper and screen saver. The app includes 218 views of coasts, beaches, cities, mountains, lakes, and more. Watch as time and light slowly paint the skies beautiful colors and cities transform from day to night and back again.

Created by the same team that brought you Magic Window for iPad and iPhone, this is a new style of desktop wallpaper made using timelapse photography. The wallpapers slowly blend over time revealing magical changes in scenery and color. The goal is to create slow and subtle movement that does not distract from work.

The speed of the wallpaper can be changed from slowest where movement is not visible to fastest where movement is subtle and noticeable. Depending on if you prefer more static wallpaper or "live" wallpaper you can adjust this setting to conform to your tastes. Most views were filmed over hours and capture complete sky transitions.

There are no additional charges for downloads. You can install the app on as many Macs as you want and download scenes as many times as you want.

Beautiful Sceneries

• ★★★★☆   Creoletexan 7 years ago ( v 1.5 )

Simple app and beautiful backgrounds, but there needs to be more choices. And enough of the Yosemite backgrounds!!!

Kleinere Fehler aber Bilder sind echt nett anzusehen

• ★★★★☆   toniflavoni 9 years ago ( v 1.2 )

Die Bilder an sich sind in Ordnung, sogar sehr schön, aber wenn man zwischen den Anwendungen wechselt, dann kommt der schwarze Bildschirm zum Vorschein. Außerdem sind Mission Control und Dashboard nicht richtig in den Hintergrund eingebunden. Alles in allem eine wirklich tolle App, wenn die Fehler behoben sind gibt es fünf Sterne.

Schlechte Qualität mit 5k Retina Display

• ★★☆☆☆   cf1312 9 years ago ( v 1.3 )

Die maximale Auflösung des 5k Displays wird leider nicht ausgenutzt. Vielleicht brauchbar für 3k und 4k…

Schöne Spielerei ;-)

• ★★★☆☆   littleendian 9 years ago ( v 1.4 )

Wunderschöne Zeitraffer Filme als Desktop Wallpaper. Sehr guter Qualität und reichlich Auswahl. Speziell die Yosemite Themes passen natürlich sehr gut zu OSX. Leistungseinbußen konnte ich auf meinem Retina Macbook 15“ keine feststellen. Zwei kleine Kritikpunkte gibt es aus meiner Sicht aber noch: bei Aufruf der Mission Control oder des Dashboards wird entweder das orginal Wallpaper angezeigt oder wahlweise ein schwarzer Hintergrund. Es wäre super, wenn man Magic Window als echten Screensaver über die Systemsteuerung einbinden könnte. Ich habe meinen Screensaver so eingestellt, dass mein Desktop automatisch gesperrt wird und ich mich erneut anmelden muss. Mit Magic Window habe ich leider keine Möglichkeit gefunden.

SPETTACOLO

I want my money back

• ☆☆☆☆☆   T.Polk 9 years ago

Jittery, low resolution, nowhere near 4K, and not worth it. Waste of money, looking to get my money back. Planning on getting a refund from Mac App Store.
