Custom Lively Wallpapers

An interactive desktop wallpaper with integrated Spotify controls and a diegetic clock, built by extending an open-source Lively Wallpaper using Three.js.

I wanted a desktop wallpaper that could control Spotify and tell me the time without breaking the visual atmosphere of the environment — a diegetic interface rather than a widget overlay.

Unable to find an existing wallpaper that did this, I took the source code of a free Lively Wallpaper and extended it, adding Spotify playback controls and a clock rendered natively within the Three.js scene.

The project sits at the intersection of UI design and ambient computing — making a tool feel like part of the environment rather than something imposed on top of it.
