Friday night is coming up. What’s the vibe?

What does listening to music look like on the inside?

I had hoped to get an update out along with visionOS 26, but I guess I’ve been working on too many new features simultaneously. 😅

It will ship when it ships.
Small frequent updates thereafter.🤞

In the meantime, here’s a glimpse of what’s going on.😎

They say hexagons are the bestagons.

Bees and board gamers love them. You can never have too many!

Have a great weekend Bluesky friends!

Friday night is back!

I’ve had some time to listen to music and try out some ideas for visualizations.

There’s a LOT of work to do to get this into a releasable form, but I can’t wait!

I finally had the opportunity to work on ray tracing with Metal 3 and want to share a little demo clip. 🪩

For now my ray tracing is not fast enough for
@neontrip.app on Vision Pro, but I have some optimization ideas to test out. 🔬👨‍💻

Stay tuned! 🎛️

Thanks everyone for the nice response to the Wallpaper app! 🙏🏻

I’ve got some great feedback and feature requests!

Starting with some low hanging fruit: Since the renderer was built for VR, pitch and roll poses no problem 😉

Next update of Neon Trip - Wallpaper submitted for review. 🤞

Introduces ‘Multi Display Wallpaper’ – Automatically combine your displays for one huge wallpaper image.

You can even fine tune the layout using a handy inset slider and by positioning the crop frames manually.

Upcoming feature - spoiler alert! 🫣

You will be able apply the wallpaper cropped and sliced for your very own multi display arrangement.

There’s still some UI adjustments and testing to be done, but the basic functionality is there. ☕️

It turns out that on macOS, the users “Arrange Displays” settings are available to third party apps.

You see where I’m going?

I probably should have done this earlier.

• Do you have a Mac?
• Would like to try out my new (not yet released) wallpaper app for free and tell me what you think?

Send me a direct message or reply here.

Anything else? Send me a message and say hi anyway 👋

Latest news with Neon Trip - Wallpaper.

Just submitted for review again. A video captured on the Vision Pro is no go 🛑 (I was perhaps too eager to show off the “killer feature” 😆)

I used the occasion to also fix the handling of back and forth between physical and virtual displays.

While waiting for the review, I have discovered an “unfortunate behavior” of the app / the way wallpapers are treated on macOS.

I can make it nicer in an update, but it makes me a bit worried since this is a paid app. I’ll release the update quickly no matter what…

While waiting for review of the macOS ultrawide wallpaper app, I am wondering about what to focus on next.

I have a few ideas for improvements.

Is it a bad idea to work on updates to an app that has not yet been blessed by app review?

Submitted for review! 🤞🤞

In the meantime, it would make me super happy if you go and check out the website with demo videos:

• Ultrawide Mac Virtual Display (UMVD)

• Standard Mac display.

Can my hosting deal with the insane amounts of requests?
Feel free to stress test 😝

I got rid of the remaining (known) bugs and uploaded images and videos.

Then I realized the videos have audio of me clicking and music in the background.

QuickTime has a “Remove Audio”. Nice!

Upload to App Store Connect…

🚫 “This file has corrupt or missing audio”

*Sigh*

Okay, so there is a small but bug in the ultrawide wallpaper app. After a scene loads, when you start editing the whole image sometimes changes.

In the meantime, here’s a link to a demo image generated by the app:

Now I only need images for App Store.

I wonder if they’ll allow captures from Apple Vision Pro showing the Ultrawide Mac Virtual Display?

Perhaps I’ll wait until an update to increase likelihood of approval?

On the other hand Ultrawide and Wide wallpapers was the whole point.

App Icon decided. Used a great image that I have been using for a while already, but not as an app icon.

This will do for now.

Hope you agree 😅

I’ve been improving app behavior, layout and handling of focus etc…

A super simple website and support form is up in preparation for submission to Mac App Store review…

neontrip.app/wallpaper/

I might improve that a bit while waiting for review.

Now back to actual app improvements and… the icon!
