Put Hatsune Miku on Your Windows Desktop

As we're just days away from the theatrical release of the Hatsune Miku movie COLORFUL STAGE! The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing, fans can get their own Miku on their desktop to play with, decorate their windows, or just keep them company while they work, study, or game. Developer infiniteloop launched its Desktop Mate PC application on Wednesday with its first DLC (able content) character Vocaloid idol Hatsune Miku.

Desktop Mate is a application in which cute mascots will interact with all your mouse movements. The characters can also bounce between windows and react to being "pet." The base program is free-to-play on PC via Steam, and the initial is 314.11 megabytes as of press time. While the free-to-play version features the company's mascot Aiel-tan (pictured left), the Hatsune Miku DLC is available for US$15.

Minimum system requirements to run the program include the Windows 10 or 11 operating system (64-bit), Intel Core i5-8250U 1.6GHz or AMD Ryzen 3 3300U processor, 8 gigabytes of RAM (random-access memory), Intel UHD Graphics 730 or Radeon VEGA 8 GPU (graphics processing unit), and 500 megabytes of available storage space.

s can customize the character's size and volume as well as choose between three graphics presets. The program averages about 225.3 megabytes of memory usage when graphics are set to high. (But that can vary based on the 's system.)

Miku is currently the only DLC character available for the program, but infiniteloop has plans to add new characters as well as new ways to interact with them, as the company further develops the product. Hopefully, the developers will add a "minimize to system tray" option in one of these updates, to make the program seem less like an isolated tool and more like programs like Wallpaper Engine that can be staples for your desktop.

Europe the same year garnered criticism for using an LED screen instead of the trademark projection on a transparent screen that Crypton Future Media has used in the past.

The character has also Dropkick on My Devil! X television anime.
