Static Windows wallpapers can often feel a little, well, uninspiring -- especially if you don’t change them regularly. Sucrose is a free and fully open-source solution that brings a dynamic, customizable approach to desktop backgrounds.
This versatile wallpaper engine allows you to animate and personalize your desktops with interactive wallpapers, and it supports both light and dark themes. Sucrose works across multiple screens and supports a range of resolutions, making it compatible with various display configurations.

Users can design media-responsive wallpapers using the Sucrose Audio API, or create system status-based designs with the Sucrose System API. Additionally, you can turn websites into wallpapers through CefSharp and WebView.
You can create your own wallpapers and share them with others through the Sucrose community, as well as browse and download designs created by others from the Sucrose Store.
You don’t need to worry about the software affecting system performance either (which was our first worry), as it optimizes CPU and GPU usage and automatically pauses wallpapers when fullscreen applications or games are running. It also includes a power-saving mode to help conserve battery life on laptops.
The software has just been updated to version 25.5.2.0, and you can download it from here.
