WeeksLeft 1.1.0

Twenty more designs, and the weekly rotation no longer looks like a bug.

Install

1. Download WeeksLeft-1.1.0-win-x64.zip below and unzip it anywhere.
2. Run WeeksLeft.exe, set your date of birth, pick a design.
3. Press Install to system — it copies itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\WeeksLeft,
   adds a Start menu shortcut, registers the scheduled task, and appears in
   Apps & features so it uninstalls the normal way. No administrator rights.

Requires Windows 10/11 and the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime.

Upgrading from 1.0.0: unzip over the old folder, or just run the new exe and press
Install to system again. Your settings and profiles are untouched.

Rotation is now something you can see

Rotation is on by default, and it used to be a plain dropdown below the gallery — so the
weekly switch read as a bug: the design you picked was quietly replaced by the next one in
the cycle. Now there is a notice above the gallery that names the exact date of the next
switch, and explains why that date is not a Monday: periods are counted from your date of
birth. One click on Keep this one turns rotation off for good, and the selected card
carries a badge with the same date.

Forty designs

Twenty new templates, drawn from scratch on canvas — homages you should be able to name on
sight rather than more data design: a desert under two moons, falling glyph columns, a
perspective crawl into a star field, a ring of burning script, ink on parchment, a neon-noir
skyline whose lit windows are your weeks, an amber vault door, a ministry poster, a
dot-matrix DON'T PANIC, a doomsday clock, a prime radiant, a red room with a chevron
floor, a wall of christmas lights, a light grid, a black hole, a burning manuscript, a very
small planet, a whaling chart, an investigation board, and a macrodata refinement terminal.

Also new

• Profiles — the who half of the settings (date of birth, sex, country, model, custom
  line, milestones) saved under a name and switched in one click, so somebody else can see
  their own map without losing yours. The design and theme stay as they are.
• Download PNG — renders exactly what the preview shows, at your monitor's real
  resolution, and saves it wherever you like.
• A preview worth looking at — the window opens larger, and clicking the preview blows
  it up to fill the whole window.
• Projected final age is now its own checkbox beside the projected final year, and all
  forty designs honour both. Three of the new ones did not; they do now.

Known gaps

Lock screen wallpaper is still not set (different API), and the life-expectancy table is
hand-entered from UN WPP 2024 / WHO GHO era estimates rather than pulled automatically.

WeeksLeft 1.0.0

A Windows wallpaper of the weeks you have lived — and the ones still ahead.

Install

1. Download WeeksLeft-1.0.0-win-x64.zip below and unzip it anywhere.
2. Run WeeksLeft.exe, set your date of birth, pick a design.
3. Press Install to system — it copies itself to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\WeeksLeft,
   adds a Start menu shortcut, registers the scheduled task, and appears in
   Apps & features so it uninstalls the normal way. No administrator rights.

Requires Windows 10/11 and the .NET 8 Desktop Runtime.

What is in it

• Twenty designs, rendered at your monitor's real physical resolution, per monitor.
• Rotates to a new design every week by default; pick one to pin it for the week.
• Remaining life expectancy e(x) at your current age — derived from your country and
  sex with a Brass relational logit model — rather than the life-expectancy-at-birth
  figure that understates things for any adult.
• Life milestones plotted on the week grid, dark/light/follow-Windows themes, Windows
  accent colour, safe margins for desktop icons and the taskbar, English and Russian.
• No resident process. A scheduled task wakes on logon, unlock and daily; when nothing
  changed it exits in about 30 ms. Idle cost is zero.
