Which versions of Windows does BioniX support?

BioniX Wallpaper runs on Windows Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11. It supports multiple monitors, high DPI displays, and virtual desktops. No .NET framework, no Java runtime, no third-party dependencies required.

How is BioniX different from Wallpaper Engine and Lively?

BioniX is a full wallpaper changer — not just a live wallpaper player. It rotates static images on a schedule, plays videos and GIFs as live wallpapers, arranges photos into collages, and adds animated effects like Matrix rain, snow, and raindrops. Features like day/night switching, Ken Burns pan-and-zoom, EXIF auto-rotation, per-monitor plugins, and smart color matching are not offered by Wallpaper Engine or Lively.

Does the live wallpaper feature slow down my PC?

BioniX is built for low CPU and GPU use. It automatically pauses animated wallpapers and effects when you launch a full-screen application (a game, a video player) or when your laptop runs on battery. Static wallpaper slideshows use essentially zero resources.

Can I use BioniX on multiple monitors?

Yes. BioniX Wallpaper fully supports multi-monitor setups. Each monitor can run a different mode: slideshow on one screen, photo collage on another, live video wallpaper on a third. Mixed-DPI and different-resolution setups are handled automatically.

Is BioniX safe? Why does Windows SmartScreen warn about it?

BioniX is safe. SmartScreen warns about any application that hasn't paid for a code-signing certificate with extended validation. BioniX is scanned by Microsoft Defender and VirusTotal on every release and has a 25-year track record.

Is BioniX portable? Can I run it from a USB stick?

Yes. BioniX Wallpaper is fully portable. Copy the installation folder to a USB stick, plug it into any Windows PC, and run the executable — no installation, no registry entries, no admin rights needed.

What wallpaper formats does BioniX support?

Static images: JPG, PNG, BMP, WebP, GIF, TIFF, HEIC. Live wallpapers: MP4, AVI, MKV, WebM (video), animated GIF, and animated WebP. Photos from digital cameras are auto-rotated using EXIF orientation metadata.
