Description

Introducing Mach Desktop 4K version 3.0: The most advanced and beautiful wallpaper application ever conceived for a personal computer! Mach Desktop 4K features 50 stunning dynamic Themes; allows you to load your own Videos, GIFs, or Quartz Compositions as Wallpaper, and allows you to add over 30 different Widgets to your Desktop. Choose from a huge variety of meticulously crafted dynamic Themes from categories including: Space, Fantasy, Architecture, Fields, Nature, Holiday, Aquariums, Fireplaces, Abstract Themes, and much more! Mach Desktop 4K also features GPU-acceleration support so Themes use little-to-no CPU — freeing up your computer for other tasks.

If that still wasn’t enough, with the Widget Manager you can add Widgets to your Desktop with a single click! Select a Widget and set its size, font, foreground color, and background color — and easily position a Widget anywhere you want. Choose from over 30 different Widgets including Time, Date, Current Weather, 12 hour Weather forecast, 5 day Weather forecast, a variety of Clocks, and much much more. You can even add Web pages to your Desktop with the Web Page Widget, or add your own Custom Text Widgets (including Emojis) to your Desktop super easily. Don’t feel like adding and customizing Widgets on your own? No problem! Mach Desktop 4K can automatically add Widgets positioned, colored, and tailored for each individual Theme. With all these features, Mach Desktop 4K has no equal and is the only application of its kind!

New in version 3.0:

Don’t buy it, for real

This is absolutly should in do not buy list. I didn’t believe the previous reviews, since I don’t know it is that bad. High CPU usage, high GPU taken.
Just don’t buy it unless you want your computer burn!

Developer Response ,

Hi, the first 20 themes are Quartz compositions which have varying CPU/GPU usage depending on Quartz composition; the last 20 are videos which use a tiny amount of CPU. Regardless we're working on a 3.0 release which will include all themes pre-rendered. Thank you!

Could be better

At first the App did render the video to a small square on the desktop, instead of fullscreen. Then I had to ask the developer via facebook page, how to solve the issue - and restarted the app, as suggested: Then it worked. However, this should be present on the Apps documentation website, and a restart should be made automatically after choosing the quicktime video. Anyway, it did what I brought it to do. Just need some polishments.

5% CPU Usage is a Lie

The included wallpapers are beautiful, and the widgets are useful. I like the app a lot, but I do have to call them out on the 5% CPU usage claim. The app does indeed stay below 5% but it causes the WindowsServer process CPU usage to increase by 20-40% or so on my i7 rMBP 13.

With that being said I wish the app had an option to pause the wallpaper when on battery.
