How to install Webshots wallpapers and screensavers (Windows & macOS)

Windows

1. Download the Webshots installer or a theme pack ZIP from the Webshots site.
2. Run the installer and follow prompts; if using a ZIP, extract images to a folder.
3. Right-click the desktop > Personalize > Background to set a single image or slideshow folder.
4. For screensavers: Settings > Personalization > Lock screen > Screen saver settings, choose Webshots screensaver and configure options.

macOS

1. Download theme pack and unzip to a folder in Pictures or another convenient location.
2. System Settings (or System Preferences) > Wallpaper (Desktop & Screen Saver on older macOS) > Add Folder and select the folder with Webshots images.
3. Configure wallpaper rotation interval and screensaver activation.

Mobile (iOS & Android)

• iOS: Save images to Photos, then long-press the lock screen or home screen to set a wallpaper. Use Shortcuts or automation for periodic changes.
• Android: Save images, open Wallpapers app (or long-press home screen) and choose a collection, or use a third-party wallpaper changer app to rotate images automatically.

Customization tips

• Use curated smart packs to match ambiance to time of day—dark/night themes at night reduce eye strain.
• For productivity, choose minimal or muted wallpapers to keep contrast low and reduce distraction.
• Blend personal photos with Webshots collections: rotate a folder that contains both for a personalized touch.
• Resize or crop high-resolution images to match your display’s aspect ratio for best composition.
• For multi-monitor setups, match themes by color palette rather than exact imagery for a cohesive look.

Performance & battery considerations

• Animated or video-based screensavers can increase GPU usage; prefer static or lightly animated themes on laptops.
• Lower slideshow intervals increase disk/access frequency—use longer intervals (5–15 minutes) on battery power.
• Use Webshots’ low-power mode (if available) or set wallpapers to update only while charging.

Privacy & licensing

• Respect intellectual property: check the license for each image before redistributing or using commercially.
• Use the privacy settings in the 2025 update to limit telemetry and disable sync if you prefer local-only collections.

Troubleshooting common issues

• Images won’t change on Windows: ensure the slideshow folder is accessible and not on a network drive that requires reconnection.
• Blurry wallpapers: verify you downloaded a high-resolution version and that display scaling isn’t enlarging a small image.
• Screensaver not appearing: check power settings and screen saver timeout; some display drivers or security policies disable third-party screensavers.
• Sync problems: sign out and sign back in, check network access, and ensure both devices run the latest app version.

Best practices for choosing wallpapers

• Match contrast to your workflow: darker, low-contrast images for late-night work; brighter, more vivid images for creative tasks.
• Consider focal points: place important desktop icons away from the image’s subject.
• Rotate seasonally: swap themes to reflect seasons or special events to keep your workspace fresh.
