Lively Edge

Lively Edge - Live Wallpaper New Tab
Transform your standard, static browser landing page into a premium, dynamic desktop environment. Lively Edge is a high-performance, lightweight extension designed to replace your default New Tab page with a cinematic, moving video canvas paired with glassmorphic productivity overlays.

Whether you want a relaxing ambient nature loop, an aesthetic anime backdrop, or a clean geometric animation, Lively Edge gives you total control over your visual experience without compromising your browser's speed.

🌟 Core Features & Functionality
Hardware-Accelerated Video Engine: Upload any personal .mp4 or .webm video file to serve as your live looping background. The extension features smart layout alignment options (Fill Screen, Fit Screen, or Stretch) to ensure your wallpaper perfectly matches your monitor's aspect ratio.

Offline Native Storage (IndexedDB): Unlike traditional extensions that re-download assets every time you open a tab, Lively Edge saves your video files locally inside a secure, high-capacity browser database. Your wallpaper loads instantly, offline, and utilizes zero network bandwidth.

Integrated Search Component: Access a responsive, frosted-glass search bar tied directly to Google. Simply type your query and press enter to navigate smoothly, keeping your workflow fast and seamless.

Built-in Custom Shortcut Manager: Create a personalized dashboard of your favorite websites directly below the search bar. Use the interactive settings panel to add custom links and names. The engine automatically fetches and displays high-quality, high-resolution icons for any domain you enter.

Independent HTML/CSS Overlay Portal: For advanced users, a dedicated code canvas allows you to inject your own custom HTML markup or CSS styling. Add personal text widgets, custom clocks, or custom styling layers entirely separate from the core interface.

Minimalist Proximity Dashboard: Keep your desktop completely clean. The elegant settings drawer stays completely hidden and out of sight, revealing itself only when your cursor explicitly hovers over the gear icon in the bottom-right corner.

🚀 Performance & Privacy First
Zero Resource Drainage: The playback engine pauses automatically when the tab is hidden or when you are viewing another website, saving your computer's CPU, GPU, and laptop battery life.

100% Local & Private: Lively Edge does not use or execute any remote code, tracking scripts, or external telemetry. Your data, settings, and uploaded videos remain entirely on your local machine.
