Step
Fill in publishing form
A new window will now pop up with various fields you will need to fill in. Only “Title” and “Preview Image” is required to upload your wallpaper to Workshop but it is definitely worth filling in the others too.

The “Visibility” option gives you a choice of Public, Only Friends, and Private. Choose the option that best suits your needs.
Lastly, to set the preview image, the easiest option is to take a snapshot of your wallpaper. Simply click “Take snapshot” to capture a section of your wallpaper.

Publish wallpaper
Once you are happy, simply click the “Publish” button on the bottom right side. Steam will then start uploading your content to the Workshop database. When this is done, you will be able to view your wallpaper in Workshop by selecting “Show wallpaper in Workshop”.
Do live wallpapers drain battery?
Using live wallpapers does have the potential to drain your battery. Undoubtedly using a live wallpaper over a static one will require more memory and overall resources from your PC.
Wallpaper Engine does have a smart feature, however, which will pause your live background whilst you enter full screen on another application. These settings can be enabled in the Performance tab of the application.
Final Thoughts
