Magic Window at Mac App Store analyse

Magic Window brings your desktop to life with beautiful slow moving timelapse views for your wallpaper and screen saver. The app includes 305 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.

Un paysage fabuleux en fond décran qui évolue toute la journée... Pouvait-on imaginer mieux pour travailler ou utiliser son Mac ?

pas terrible...

• ★☆☆☆☆   pym974 12 years ago ( v 1.2 )

trés déçu! inutile! la fonction de mac os lion: changer de fond décran toutes les 30 minutes est plus convaincante (et gratuite) heureusement que lappli nest pas excessivement chère…

• ★★★☆☆   CapitaineSeb 12 years ago ( v 1.2 )

Les transitions du passage dun bureau à un autre ne sont pas du tout agréable… A corriger rapidement sinon passer son chemin...

Super idée, super soft

Vraiment bien, la qualité est en rendez-vous, les images sont belles et lensemble est du plus bel effet. la 5ème étoile serait pour une version instégrant des images en 2560 x 1440, et pourquoi pas avec des payages se mauvais temps :), pluie, orage, neige ….
