What’s New

2026.09.06 · Windows download · 0.3.11

Play screens made in Studio automatically on your PC. Connect a project folder or import an .ambientpack backup to display it fullscreen after inactivity.

Portable app — extract the ZIP and run, with no installer

• Updated the bundled .NET runtime to security patch 10.0.11, retaining the playback features and settings of 0.3.10.
• This app does not register or replace a Windows .scr screensaver. It must remain running in the tray for automatic playback. Fully quitting stops it.

Sep 2, 2026 · 15 cinematic-space screensavers added

• Added 15 people-free cinematic interiors, including a rainy rooftop atelier, midnight library, underwater reading room, and orbital lounge, bringing the gallery to 115 screensavers.
• The set is balanced across five Clock, five Focus, and five Ambient screensavers, with a new Cinematic Spaces filter in all 10 languages.
• Every new scene includes lightweight WebP thumbnails and dedicated 21:9 and 4:3 artwork.

Sep 1, 2026 · Gallery expanded to 100 original screensavers

• Added 58 new original image screensavers, bringing the ScreenWisp gallery to a total of 100 screensavers.
• Browse by visual style with Korean Art, Pixel, Decorative, and Nature filters, or narrow the gallery by use with Focus, Clock, and Ambient filters.
• The gallery now shows 15 screensavers per page, with pagination that keeps a large collection easy to explore.
• New artwork includes layouts optimized for 21:9 ultrawide and 4:3 displays, with crop-safe compositions across common PC screen ratios.

Aug 30, 2026 · ScreenWisp now supports 10 languages

• The Web gallery and Studio support Korean, English, Japanese, Spanish, German, French, Brazilian Portuguese, Indonesian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
• The language control is now a list selector, and your choice carries from the Web gallery into Studio, My screensavers, and Player.
• Buttons, headers, Studio panels, text wrapping, search metadata, and regional language codes were checked across every supported language.

Aug 30, 2026 · Faster Studio loading, saving, and media processing

• Studio loads only the selected language and the translations needed for the current screen. Code for templates, assets, diagnostics, and merging loads when you open those tools, while video conversion stays unloaded until you use it.
• Project thumbnails are generated when the browser has spare time instead of interrupting active editing. If you edit again first, obsolete thumbnail work is canceled.
• Browser autosave now keeps scene settings separate from media files. Unchanged large images, GIFs, and videos are not rewritten on every save, reducing delay and unnecessary disk activity in larger projects.
• Motion rendering sends recorded data in smaller chunks for assembly in a separate Worker. Supported video optimization also runs in a Worker, reducing editor stalls and memory pressure during conversion.
• These improvements preserve existing browser projects, selected-folder projects, and `.ambientpack` backups, and apply automatically without a manual migration.

Aug 29, 2026 · Precise layout and element fit

• Enter selected-element X and Y positions and W and H sizes as pixel numbers for the current canvas, with immediate updates from typing or the stepper arrows.
• Fit to canvas adjusts position, size, and display like a background, while Fit inside selection changes only how media appears in the current element frame.
• Press Delete after selecting an element to remove it; the shortcut is safely ignored while typing, previewing, in fullscreen, or when the layer is locked.
• A solid background now shows only the chosen color, without Studio’s decorative stars, glow, or the empty-canvas first-element prompt.
• Cover, Show all, and Original display choices remain consistent in project save and restore, thumbnails, static merging, and motion rendering.

Aug 29, 2026 · Six analog clock designs

• Choose Minimal, Classic, Roman, Glass, Neon, or Pixel analog clocks alongside the existing digital clock.
• Hour, minute, and second hands show the current time. The second hand steps exactly 6° once per second rather than sweeping smoothly.
• Seconds, date, and numerals can be toggled independently, with separate colors for the face, markers and numerals, hour and minute hands, and second hand.
• Project thumbnails, selected-folder storage, and `.ambientpack` backup and restore preserve these settings. Clocks in older projects and backups safely retain their original digital appearance.

Aug 29, 2026 · Studio decorative assets

• The effect catalog is now curated to Star field, Gentle snow, and Night rain, with low-value effects and three frames removed.
• Snow and rain no longer move one flat picture. Instead, 96 snowflakes and 132 rain streaks fall independently with varied sizes, speeds, and starting positions.
• Seventy-eight stars twinkle on separate rhythms. Particle motion pauses while editing and runs in preview and fullscreen to protect editor performance.
• Thirty celestial, botanical, cozy, aquatic, seasonal, and geometric decorations are new, bringing the library to 34 transparent decorations and 40 total assets.
• The grid lazy-loads lightweight WebP thumbnails. Only selected full-size decorations are copied into device-local or folder projects and included in `.ambientpack` backups.

Aug 29, 2026 · Storage switching and project management

• Use a folder you select as project storage in supported Edge and Chrome versions.
• After connecting a folder, review projects left in browser storage and safely copy only the ones you choose.
• When browser and folder versions of the same project differ, ScreenWisp makes a separate copy instead of overwriting either source.
• Project directories now use readable screen names while stable IDs remain inside the JSON files.

Aug 29, 2026 · Scene merging and performance tools

• Merge static backgrounds, images, and fixed text into one WebP or PNG image.
• Render animated images, GIFs, video, and movement effects into one video.
• Choose the elements to merge and retain their source state so they can be restored after limit checks.
• Use automatic performance measurement, playback-quality choices, media analysis, and local video optimization in supported browsers.

Aug 28, 2026 · Editor canvas and motion paths

• Zoom the editor canvas with the mouse wheel and place path points in the offscreen work area.
• Choose a straight or smooth curve for each path segment and inspect connections and segment states on the canvas.
• Resize images, GIFs, and video from edges or corners while object dragging preserves the original grab offset.
• Choose cover, contain, or contain with a blurred fill independently for background media.

Aug 27, 2026 · Gallery and display-ratio support

• Added 16 ScreenWisp original-artwork image screensavers and placed image screensavers first in the gallery.
• Added dedicated 21:9 and 4:3 artwork plus safe blurred fill for a wider range of PC displays.
• Connected Korean and English home, screensaver detail, guide, FAQ, privacy, terms, and contact pages.
• Added My screensavers as a local place to run, edit, and back up personal projects.
