CORE INTENTION
Designed for presence, not engagement.
Most desktop utilities fight for your attention with notification badges, tray popups, and floating widgets. 365 operates on the principle of stillness.
Eliminating App Bloat
Traditional live wallpaper apps swallow 150MB to 400MB of RAM. 365 uses the native Windows wallpaper engine. It only wakes up when the clock strikes midnight.

TECHNICAL ARCHITECTURE
Zero background footprint by design.
How 365 achieves zero memory overhead, instant wallpaper switching, and pristine high-DPI clarity on Windows.
01
Dual-Trigger Background Engine
Instead of running an Electron or Python daemon that idles in the system tray, 365 registers a native Windows Task Scheduler job running silently at 00:01 AM.
If the machine is asleep, hibernating, or powered down at midnight, a secondary lightweight logon hook synchronizes the desktop background within milliseconds of unlocking.

4× Super Sampling (SSAA)
To eliminate raster blur on 4K, 5K, or high-DPI displays, 365's Pillow graphics engine renders the full canvas at 400% of the target screen resolution.
The high-density canvas is downsampled via Lanczos resampling, ensuring razor-sharp typography, ultra-fine 1px geometric borders, and flawless dot perimeters.

Sub-pixel Geometry
03
Native Win32 GDI Integration
Wallpapers are applied via the native Windows API SystemParametersInfoW using flags SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPIF_SENDCHANGE.
This delivers seamless, instant transitions without restarting explorer.exe, avoiding black flashes or desktop icon rearrangement.

Polite Uninstaller & Clean Registry

Upon uninstalling, the custom uninstaller hook purges scheduled tasks, cleans registry keys, and deletes generated cache without leaving orphaned clutter.
