Last week, Apple announced and highlighted new versions of iOS and macOS. Improvements for both operating systems look impressive, especially iOS 11 for iPad. With each OS release, Apple also includes at least one new hero wallpaper that symbolizes the newer version. Then, a mad dash occurs to obtain the images, providing you access, even without the need to rely on a beta release. Take a step inside for three wallpaper downloads.
The High Sierra default background image is available at a maximum high resolution of 5120 x 2880 pixels, making it look fantastic as the desktop picture on a Mac, Windows PC, iPad, iPhone, Android, or whatever else you want to spruce up.
Wallpaper For Mac Os High Sierra
No more mountains! Mojave brought a new system-wide Dark Mode, and the OS shipped with two versions of its default wallpaper to match. Users could even have macOS slowly fade between the two background images over the course of the day.
macOS Catalina brought big changes to the Mac, including the ability to run iPad apps natively, opening the platform up to a much larger number of developers than ever before. Catalina shipped with multiple variants of its default wallpaper, and the ability to shift between them as time progresses throughout the day:
This version of macOS builds on Big Sur, bringing Shortcuts and a range of features that are also part of iOS and iPadOS 15. As of the first beta, Monterey does not include any new nature wallpapers as previous releases has.
Automatic: Available when your wallpaper is a Light & Dark Desktop picture, switches from light to dark at sunset, based on your current location. However, if you selected Dark Mode in Appearance settings (or during macOS setup), the desktop picture defaults to a dark still image. To stop using a dark still image, click the pop-up menu, then choose Automatic or Light (Still).
To answer your question, there are two ways to get the macOS High Sierra wallpaper images on your MacBook Pro. You can either 1) update to macOS High Sierra, or you could 2) ask someone who has this operating system installed to copy the files and share them with you. They are located in the /Library /Desktop Pictures folder.All the best to you in 2018!
In general, High Sierra is a significant update under the hood, but it's light on highly visible changes for general users. We're looking at quality-of-life stuff and foundations for future developments. That doesn't mean there's nothing for Mac app and game developers to dive into, though. Features of the final version of High Sierra include a new proprietary file system, HEVC video support, the Metal 2 graphics API, and myriad tweaks to various apps and services. It will be the first update to macOS since 10.12.6 on July 19.
Apple's opening WWDC 2017 keynote was one hell of a rollercoaster ride. Not only we got a sneak peek at the company's upcoming software lineup, but got to witness some amazing hardware announcements as well. In all that noise, Apple slipped in a couple of new wallpapers in iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra too. Thankfully enough, those wonderful backdrops can now be downloaded by anyone. Just tap or click on the images below and then select the download button on the top right hand corner to grab them in the highest quality. And yes, in case you're wondering, these wallpapers will fit any device just fine as long as you don't push the limits.
Having given both wallpapers a spin on several devices, I have to admit that the High Sierra backdrop looks wonderful on a smartphone. If you're rocking a device such as the Galaxy S8, I'm pretty certain that things will look even better. Even on the iPhone 7 Plus' LCD display the colors popped. Still, which device you eventually end up using the wallpaper on is entirely your call, as long as justice is being done.
It's so bored to see the same wallpaper on Mac every day. So, you can personalize your desktop if you have beautiful pictures. Moreover, on a Mac computer, it provides some images on the local disk. Here four fast ways of how to make a picture as your background on macOS Sierra.
Check the option of Change picture and choose a proper interval. Mac will change the desktop background in order. Once you select the Random order, the wallpaper would not show in the same order.
The quality is definitely there, but it is slightly disappointing that Apple has chosen to only issue one new wallpaper offering with the iOS 11 beta release. Historically speaking we have seen the company continue to add additional graphical assets into the bundle with each new release, which means that as we progress we should definitely get more new and shiny wallpapers to add to this solitary offering.
As always, we will keep you updated on those, but for now, you can grab the new coastal wallpaper for iPhone and iPad from iOS 11 directly from here, while the one from High Sierra can be grabbed from here.
A group of friends from California set out to take photos that exactly replicate Apple's iconic California-based macOS wallpapers, and they nailed almost every wallpaper, except maybe the dunes of the Mojave desert and the waves at Mavericks.
macOS Ventura (version 13) is the nineteenth and current major release of macOS, Apple's desktop operating system for Mac computers. The successor to macOS Monterey, it was announced at WWDC 2022 on June 6, 2022, and launched on October 24, 2022.[5] It is named after the city of Ventura and is the tenth macOS release to bear a name from the company's home state of California. The macOS 13 Ventura logo and default wallpaper resemble an abstract California poppy.[6]
Normally, when you start up your Mac, the login screen will show your usual desktop background. Change desktop background in System Preferences, and it will change your login screen and your lock screen wallpaper.
I believe there has to be a way of creating custom wallpapers similar to this default one. The question is how to open such files properly (to see them as collections) and, more importantly, edit them?
The HEIC format is a container for HEIF or High Efficiency Encoding Format. This container allows multiple HEIF-encoded images to be contained within one container. The HEIC file in question contains 16 images that allow the wallpaper to change throughout the day. Currently, there is no software that I can find for the Mac that allows for the encoding of these multi-image HEIC files (collections, as they are technically called). However, I have found a tool that is part of the libde265 library called heif-enc that allows such encoding via a command line interface. I'm still struggling with it to get it to work the way I want, but that should theoretically allow very similarly packaged images to be created.
EDIT: Just wanted to clarify a couple of things. I built the libde265 tools on ubuntu, not MacOS. Also I've yet to find if there is something in the EXIF data of that particular wallpaper that tells MacOS which wallpaper to display when, or if the system is just expecting exactly 16 images and displays them in order. Also there's a linux plugin for GIMP that allows opening HEIC files, but in the case of collections, it asks you to choose which image to open and does not allow for the exporting of multi-image collections (at least for now).
I wanted to create some wallpapers for current Macs in the next few days and was therefore interested in the resolution of the wallpapers in macOS Monterey (my current system). The images that I found in the folder there have a resolution of 5120 x 2880 pixels. However, the 6K Apple Pro Display XDR has a resolution of 6016 x 3384 pixels. That's why I would prefer to choose the higher resolution as the base value. So you should be on the safe side for the next 2 or 3 years.
Some old Apple desktop backgrounds can also be found under Mojave in the wallpaper folder, but these have not necessarily been modernized for the Dynamic Desktop. Mojave is the first Mac operating system to offer the function for desktop backgrounds that change according to the time of day or the position of the sun. You can see whether a macOS wallpaper for the desk supports the Dynamic Desktop feature in the "Desk & Screensaver" settings (right click on the desk and then "Change desktop background ..."). There the selectable images are arranged according to normal and dynamic desk backgrounds. With the latter, you can set whether they should change continuously or act depending on the dark mode or the light mode.

To set one of the above images as your wallpaper, open it in your browser, right-click on it and select Save Image As. Next, right-click on the thumbnail of the downloaded image and choose Services > Set Desktop Picture.
You can run this anytime by typing in terminal wallpaper-reddit [subreddits]Binaries are located at /usr/local/bin/wallpaper-redditConfig files are located at /.config/wallpaper-redditSyntax Help wallpaper-reddit --help
The config file is in /.config/wallpaper-reddit, and will be created automatically. Currently, the GNOME, XFCE, MATE, Unity, and Cinnamon Desktop Environments should be automatically detected and the program should set the wallpaper without any extra work. However, due to the varying nature of window managers, it is possible, even likely, that you may have to specify a custom command to set your wallpaper. The program will prompt you for this if this is the case; the exact command can be researched per desktop environment. If your desktop environment is not supported, leave the set command blank and it will auto download to the /Pictures/Wallpapers/ directory as wallpaper.jpg for the daily wallpaper. 2ff7e9595c
