I decided to reverse engineer and see what I can do.I built Phosphene to sell it, but the existing competitors were polished enough that the time it would have taken to catch up wasn&amp;#x27;t going to pay off. So I&amp;#x27;m open-sourcing it.WallpaperExtensionKit.framework is what powers macOS wallpapers. It controls what’s shows in the Settings app. It took a lot of trial and error to replicate the behavior, but the result is that your custom wallpapers appear alongside everything else. I wanted to have an “add” button there too, but I couldn’t find a way to do so, so there’s a companion app that will put your video where it needs to be.Unlike Apple&amp;#x27;s Aerials, the video keeps playing on the desktop (not just the lock screen). The renderer drives AVSampleBufferDisplayLayer directly with PTS-offset gapless looping, and pauses or downshifts based on thermal state, battery level, brightness, and window occlusion.It’s free and works well.</content></entry><entry><id>tag:hn.algolia.com,2005:Item/48215418</id><title>DOS Zone</title><published>2026-05-20T22:53:27Z</published><updated>2026-05-21T10:46:51Z</updated><link type="text/html" href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48215418" rel="alternate" /><author><name>rglover</name></author><link href="https://dos.zone/" /></entry><entry><id>tag:hn.algolia.com,2005:Item/48214017</id><title>Anthropic is expanding to Colossus2.
