Turn your desktop into a living, animated backdrop. Flowing generative patterns with a retro CRT finish, rendered in Metal behind your icons. Fully customizable. SlateKit turns your Mac desktop into a living, animated backdrop. A generative pattern flows gently behind your icons all day, finished with an optional retro CRT look. Everything is rendered in Metal, so it stays smooth and light on your battery. FIVE GENERATIVE STYLES Choose the mood that fits your desktop: - Aurora: soft, drifting curtains of light - Swirl: flowing liquid paint - Plasma: molten, shifting interference - Marble: slow, domain warped stone - Ripple: concentric neon waves MAKE IT YOURS Tune every part of the look with live controls and an instant preview: - Colors: primary, secondary, and background - Motion: speed, spin, zoom, warp, layers, contrast, lighting, and detail - CRT: curvature, scanlines, aberration, vignette, and flicker - Effects: film grain and bloom PRESETS Start from seven built-in looks, then save your own. Rename them, update them in place as you refine, and switch between them in a click. A Surprise Me button generates a fresh, tasteful look whenever you want a change. SCHEDULE BY TIME OF DAY Assign presets to times and let SlateKit change the mood automatically, a calm look in the morning, something bolder at night. BUILT FOR MULTIPLE DISPLAYS Span one continuous scene across every display, or center an independent scene on each. Nudge the position to frame it exactly how you like. LIGHT ON YOUR MAC SlateKit is designed to stay out of your way and easy on resources: - Render quality settings trade sharpness for battery and fan savings - Separate frame rates on power and on battery - Pauses when covered by windows and stops entirely when the screen is asleep, locked, or in screensaver - Respects Reduce Motion and Low Power Mode LIVES IN YOUR MENU BAR No Dock clutter. SlateKit runs quietly from the menu bar with a full settings panel one click away.It can launch at login so your desktop comes alive the moment you sign in. Your desktop picture and lock screen are matched to the current look, so everything stays consistent, even when you reveal the desktop. Download SlateKit and give your Mac a desktop worth looking at.
