Cozy Autumn — MSN Wallpaper and Screensaver Pack

MSN Wallpaper & Screensaver Pack: Autumn Harvest CollectionAutumn arrives with a palette of amber, gold, and russet, and the MSN Wallpaper & Screensaver Pack: Autumn Harvest Collection captures that seasonal warmth across vivid desktop backgrounds and animated screensavers. This collection brings an inviting harvest-time atmosphere to your computer, featuring rustic scenes, close-ups of falling leaves, and soft, golden light that evokes crisp mornings and cozy evenings.

What’s included

The Autumn Harvest Collection contains:

• 20 high-resolution wallpapers (1920×1080 and 3840×2160 where available) featuring landscapes, still life, and macroscopic leaf detail.
• 6 animated screensavers that loop smoothly and include gentle motion elements such as drifting leaves, swaying wheat, and soft sunlight rays.
• Multiple color variations for select wallpapers (warm, muted, and high-contrast) so users can match their display preferences.
• A desktop theme package that applies matching system colors and simple sound cues to complement the visuals.

Visual themes and highlights

The pack focuses on a handful of visual themes that define the harvest season:

• Rustic Farmlands: Wide shots of harvested fields, hay bales, and country lanes at golden hour. These images use broad compositions and warm tones to create a sense of openness and calm.
• Forest & Leaf Study: High-detail macro photos of maple, oak, and birch leaves in various stages of color change, often shown with shallow depth of field for a painterly effect.
• Orchard & Produce: Scenes from orchards, pumpkin patches, and baskets of seasonal fruit and vegetables—ideal for conveying the bounty of harvest.
• Cozy Still Life: Tabletop arrangements with warm textiles, candles, hot drinks, and seasonal decor that give an intimate, homey feel.
• Misty Mornings: Soft-focus landscapes with fog over ponds or between trees, invoking quiet early mornings and cooler air.

Screensavers: motion and mood

The animated screensavers are designed to be subtle and not distracting while your computer is idle:

• Falling Leaves — a gentle cascade of leaves across the screen with parallax depth to suggest distance.
• Wheat Breeze — tall stalks swaying with a slow camera pan, sunlight flaring at the edges.
• Harvest Twilight — a timelapse-inspired screensaver that shifts from late afternoon to dusk with warm-to-cool color transitions.
• Orchard Breeze — drifting fog through an apple orchard with occasional drifting petals.
• Lantern Lane — a slow dolly past lantern-lit paths and rustic signs, creating a comforting evening walk vibe.
• Fireplace Corner — a looped, low-frame-rate clip of a crackling fire with embers and subtle camera shake for realism.

Each screensaver includes options to toggle sound (soft wind, distant bird calls, fireplace crackle) and to reduce motion for accessibility.

Design and technical specs

• Wallpapers are delivered in multiple resolutions, commonly 1920×1080 (Full HD), 2560×1440 (QHD), and 3840×2160 (4K). Some images include ultra-wide crops (3440×1440).
• Screensavers are lightweight video loops or shader-based animations optimized to pause when system resources are needed. They support common OS formats or launch via the included installer that configures them for Windows and major desktop environments.
• All images use sRGB color space with carefully balanced white points to maintain consistent color across most displays.

Installation and customization

Installation is straightforward:

1. Run the included installer or extract the ZIP package.
2. Choose wallpapers and screensavers you’d like to install.
3. The installer can apply a full desktop theme (wallpaper rotation, screensaver, and accent colors) or let you configure each component manually.
4. Use the “rotate wallpaper” schedule to cycle images hourly, daily, or only on demand.

Customization tips:

• For minimal motion, disable animated screensavers or enable reduced-motion mode.
• Use the warm-tone variations at night to reduce blue light exposure.
• Combine still wallpapers with the Fireplace Corner screensaver for a cozy, continuous mood.

Who this pack is for

• People who appreciate high-resolution photography and subtle motion without flashy effects.
• Home and office users looking for warm, calming backgrounds that suit both personal and work environments.
• Anyone building a seasonal playlist of visual themes for autumn-themed events or displays.

Accessibility & performance considerations

• Reduced-motion options and the ability to disable sounds are included to accommodate users with vestibular sensitivities and those who need quiet environments.
• Screensavers are optimized to stop or lower frame rates when CPU/GPU usage is high, and there’s an option to disable GPU acceleration for older systems.
• Images include sufficient contrast alternatives for users who prefer higher visibility backgrounds for icon legibility.
