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

Description
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.
EDITIONS:
Magic Window comes in two editions - Magic Window and Magic Window 4K. Please get the right edition for your Mac. If you end up with the wrong version please e-mail [email protected].

Magic Window 4K scenes are full 1.9:1 Ultra 4K resolution (4096x2160). They look fantastic on every single Mac model. These are truly high definition wallpapers, not stretched low resolution videos.
Magic Window 4K includes 218 scenes: 11 are built into the app, and 207 are downloaded after you install the app. We use scene downloads so we can bring you more and more scenes without making the app larger and larger. 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.
Note there are fewer scenes in Magic Window 4K than Magic Window because earlier Magic Window scenes were not filmed in 4K.
The downloadable wallpapers total 20GB in size. You can choose to download as many as you want or download all. You can also delete wallpapers and re-download them later. To download all wallpapers you will need 20GB of spare storage.
Magic Window fully supports multiple monitors, allowing you to have different scenes on each display and to selectively enable or disable displays. AirPlay can also be used to display the scenes on an Apple TV. Note that you can not stretch a single scene across multiple displays.

Beautiful Sceneries
Kleinere Fehler aber Bilder sind echt nett anzusehen
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
Die maximale Auflösung des 5k Displays wird leider nicht ausgenutzt. Vielleicht brauchbar für 3k und 4k…
Schöne Spielerei ;-)
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
uno spettacolo per gli occhi!!!
Have new 5K Imac and this is exactly what was needed!
Works great, looks great and finally enjoying content that using the machines capabilities. So far so good!
I want my money back
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.
