Text Input User Property

A Text Layer in Wallpaper Engine allows you to enter any type of free text, including emoji characters. With the help of a text input property, you can allow users to enter a custom text on your wallpaper.

First, create a new text layer through the Add Asset menu on the left-hand side. Select your text layer and next to the Text option, click on Bind User Property. Select Add Property to create a new user property of the Text type. You will be asked to enter a Title which will later be visible to your users. In our example, we'll name it Center Text though you should find a fitting name for your use-case. We also add a default value, which is what will be displayed when a user uses the wallpaper for the first time.

This already suffices to set up a customizable text field. After confirming the user property, you can click on File in the upper left corner and then select Apply Wallpaper. You will now find a text input with your default value in the properties list of your wallpaper. Typing in new text will change the visible text on the wallpaper in real time.
