What is new in AerialSwap 2.0

AerialSwap 2.0 brings Wallpaper Engine's Workshop to Discover and makes finding videos a lot easier.

## What's new

**Wallpaper Engine Workshop in Discover**
- Own [Wallpaper Engine](https://www.wallpaperengine.io) on Steam? Switch Discover to **Workshop** to browse thousands of video wallpapers, with animated previews.
- Click **Download with Steam**: your own Steam for Mac downloads it, no Windows needed. AerialSwap never sees your Steam login.
- Only wallpapers rated for everyone are shown. If your Steam account doesn't own Wallpaper Engine, AerialSwap tells you before you try.
- Once a wallpaper is in your library, the copy Steam downloaded is removed to save space (you can turn this off). Wallpapers you subscribed to yourself are never touched.
- No Steam yet? Picking Workshop explains what you need.

**Browse while downloading**
- Downloads from Pixabay and the Workshop now run in the background. A small indicator at the top shows the progress, and you can keep browsing. When it's done, open it from there.

**Find videos faster**
- More topics, such as Waterfalls, Northern Lights, Underwater, Sci-Fi and Anime. The ones that don't fit are in the menu at the end of the topics.
- Sort by Popular or Newest (on the Workshop also Most Subscribed, or popular this week, month or year).
