Does live wallpaper continue to run when screen is off?

I'm wondering if live wallpaper continue to run and draw on the battery when the screen is off.

No. Someone else asked this.

I suggested using currentwidget to check power draw whilst idle and his draw was very close to mine, which is a super efficient rom / kernel combo.

Thanks, Dan. So no problem with the screen off but just to be sure does that also mean if you have your notepad open or something else open for instance so the screen is on but the desktop doesn't show is the live wallpaper running then in the background so that it will impact battery life?

You'd have to test that. Try current widget

Probably not accurate though
