Novaframe Engine is an open-source, ultra-lean desktop live wallpaper runtime built with Tauri v2 and Rust for macOS and Windows.
Engineered to anchor interactive WebGL, Three.js, and GLSL shader canvases directly beneath desktop icons, Novaframe runs dynamic visual environments with near-zero idle CPU/GPU consumption.
Key Capabilities:
• Zero-Waste Power Management: Win32/macOS occlusion detection automatically halts animations when fullscreen games or applications are active.
• Native Underlay Architecture: True desktop window-level anchoring beneath the menu bar, taskbar, and desktop icons.
• Sandboxed Theme Protocols: Isolated scheme security (asset:, theme:) enforcing strict Content Security Policies.
• 1-Click Marketplace Installation: Deep-link protocol handling (novaframe://) for instant wallpaper setup from the web store.
