Dim and Blur Visual Effect

Muzei allows you to dim or blur your wallpaper so that it doesn’t interfere with apps , widgets and other stuff that you like to place out there. The subtle effect appears very classy and in case you want to have a good look at your new wallpaper, just double tap your home-screen.

However this has a drawback. Those of you who like to navigate using gestures, will have to let go of much needed double tap gesture if you want this to work.

A Very Light App

Most live wallpaper apps are heavy on your hardware resources and untrustworthy. Muzei however breaks this stigma, as its ultra light and works efficiently even on dual core 512 MB RAM chipsets that we have tested with it. It won’t be harsh on your battery.
