如果你有一段时间的 macOS 电脑,你就会知道动态壁纸是什么。这些是根据一天中的什么时间而变化的。因此,夜间会出现深色壁纸,而白天会出现浅色壁纸。
如果您在晚上浏览网页,这将非常有用。深色壁纸会降低屏幕的亮度,让您的眼睛更容易集中注意力。
如果你想制作自己的动态壁纸,而不是只使用苹果(Apple)提供的默认壁纸,你需要怎么做?好消息是有一个免费的应用程序,它叫做Dynaper。
如何使用 Dynaper(How To Use Dynaper)
在开始之前,应该指出免费版在屏幕的右下角放置了一个水印,就像这样。
升级到Pro(去除水印)可能非常昂贵。但是当我终于把完成的动态壁纸放到我的
Macbook屏幕上时,大部分水印竟然被剪掉了!
所以对我来说,水印不是什么大问题。但是您可能对此事有不同的看法,并且可能准备支付二十美元左右进行升级。
制作壁纸(Making The Wallpaper)
实际上,您可以将任意数量的图像添加到动态壁纸中,并且您的Mac将在您指定的时间更改为序列中的下一张。但出于本文的目的,我将保持简单,只制作两张图像——一张用于白天,一张用于夜间。
当您打开Dynaper时,您将看到主窗口。
这是一个非常简单易用的应用程序。当然,不涉及火箭科学。只需(Simply)将您想要合并为一张超动态壁纸的壁纸收集在一起,然后将它们放入左侧框中。或者使用“+”符号直接进入Finder。
如果任何图像的顺序错误,您可以使用鼠标或触控板将它们拖动到正确的顺序。
我选择了将在 macOS 的下一版本 ( Catalina ) 中推出的新壁纸。一个是亮的,一个是暗的。现在是时候指定每个版本应该在桌面上启动的时间了。
您可以单击“自动建议时间(Autosuggest Time)”,但在我的实验中,它并没有得到接近正确的时间。因此,对于白天的,我只需双击它,就会出现两个箭头,使我能够将时间更改为上午 8 点。
对于您上传到Dynaper的每张图片,请确保旁边有正确的时间戳。如果不是,请纠正它。然后当一切看起来不错时,单击“导出 HEIC(Export HEIC) ”以下载新的动态壁纸。
您可以选择“将图像设置为墙纸(Set Image as Wallpaper)”,或者在保存HEIC时,右键单击它并选择“设置桌面图片(Set Desktop Picture)”。
HEIC (这是一种(HEIC)Apple 特定的图像格式)将成为您的桌面墙纸,并应在您指定的时间更改。
How To Create Your Own Dynamic Wallpapers On MacOS
If you have had a macOS computer for a while, you will know what dynamic wallpapers are. These are the ones that change deрending on what timе of day it is. So a dark wаllрaper will appear dυring the night while a light wallpaper will appear during the day.
This can be extremely helpful if you are web browsing at night. A dark wallpaper will reduce the glow of the screen and make it easier for your eyes to focus.
What do you need to do if you want to make your own dynamic wallpapers, instead of only using the default one provided by Apple? The good news is there’s a free app for that and it’s called Dynaper.
How To Use Dynaper
Before beginning, it should be pointed out that the free version puts a watermark in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen like so.
Upgrading to Pro (which removes the watermark) can be
quite expensive. But when I finally put the finished dynamic wallpaper on my
Macbook screen, most of the watermark actually got cut off!
So for me, the watermark is not a big issue. But you
may have a different opinion on the matter and may be prepared to pay out the
twenty bucks or so to upgrade.
Making The Wallpaper
You can actually add as many images as you want to the
dynamic wallpaper and your Mac will change to the next one in the sequence at
the time you specified. But for the purposes of this article, I will keep it
simple and only do two images – one for daytime and one for nighttime.
When you open Dynaper, you will be presented with the
main window.
This is a very easy straightforward app to use. Definitely, no rocket science is involved. Simply gather your wallpapers together that you want to merge into one super-dynamic wallpaper and drop them in the left-hand box. Or alternatively use the “+” symbol to be taken straight to Finder.
If any of the images are in the wrong order, you can
use your mouse or trackpad to drag them into the right order.
I chose the new wallpapers which are due to come out with the next version of macOS (Catalina). One is light and one is dark. It is now time to specify what time each version should kick in on the desktop.
You can click “Autosuggest Time” but in my experiments, it didn’t get the times anywhere near right. So with the daytime one, I just double-clicked on it and two arrows appeared, enabling me to change the time to 8.00 am.
For every image you uploaded to Dynaper, make sure you have the correct timestamp next to it. If not, correct it. Then when it all looks good, click “Export HEIC” to download the new dynamic wallpaper.
You can either select “Set Image as Wallpaper” or when the HEIC is saved, right-click on it and select “Set Desktop Picture”.
The HEIC (which is an Apple-specific image format) will then become your desktop wallpaper and should change at the times you specified.
