The arrival of macOS Big Sur 11.3 among its novelties, the most visual has undoubtedly been the new wallpapers. It is always welcome to have new wallpapers on any device to have a wider range of possibilities and also modify this aesthetic aspect. Although, these wallpapers came exclusively for the iMac M1. But this is the theory since the way has been found to be able to use them. In this article we tell you this trick so that you can enjoy the new wallpapers on any Mac.
Get the iMac M1 wallpapers
The arrival of the new iMac to the market will be marked by these new wallpapers. These teams will have these wallpapers by default from May 21 if all the rumors are true. This is something quite typical of the company not only in the Mac range but also in the iPhone and iPad.
In order to access these resources, the only requirement that must be met is to have macOS 11.3 or higher version installed. The wallpapers show different lines of colors and patterns available for each of the iMac colors that are available in the market. Once this requirement has been met, you simply have to follow the following steps:
- Open the Mac system preferences.
- Select the option ‘Desktop’ and within the window choose the upper tab ‘screen saver’.
- Double click on ‘Desktop Pictures’ on the left side.
- In the file explorer that appears you must enter the main storage unit and follow the path Library> Desktop Pictures.
- Scroll down and click on those images that have the tag ‘hello’.
- Drag the image to use to the desktop.
- Right click on this image and select the ‘set desktop image’ option.
The files corresponding to this new mode are always named “hello Blue” “hello Green” “hello Gray” “hello Orange” “hello Purple” “hellow Red” and “hello Yellow” . As can be deduced and as we have previously commented, the desired color can be achieved from among the entire range offered by the company. The only drawback is that to repeat this operation, you must always follow this route since they are not saved in the system preferences in the wallpapers section.
Exclusivity in wallpapers
As we have commented previously, Apple usually has totally exclusive wallpapers for the new equipment that it is going to present. Although this is a somewhat ‘silly’ limitation since in a very simple way you can browse the internet to download the wallpaper file in order to have it permanently without having the equipment in question.
These options to change the wallpaper of a Mac that are totally hidden in this way are not very frequent. That is why in future versions it is quite likely that this option will end up disappearing, for example in a next beta.
