I do have a hot corner set up to activate screensaver, and it did work until now, but to my surprise, now the hot corner makes everything on the desktop disappear (as if screen saver is starting) and yet the pretty Sonoma wallpaper does NOT move (which is NOT what a screensaver is supposed to do). It stopped working, which is annoying. I guess rebooting may fix it, but that's even more annoying.

So, I did not reboot but went to settings and switched back to my old screen saver (thousands of tennis photos) and it worked. Then switched back to the Sonoma screen saver, and it's now working. It was just stuck. Easy fix.

Do you want to get a moving background for your Windows or Mac computer? You can easily have an animated wallpaper in a few simple steps. You'll just need to download "Lively Wallpaper" for Windows 10 or 11 and iWallpaper for MacOS Monterey and Ventura. This wikiHow will show you how to download and use live wallpapers for your desktop on a Windows or Mac computer.

Just upgraded to Sonoma on my 2023 Macbook and am trying to use the wallpapers. Some of the Landscape wallpapers do not fit my screen properly. It seems to be too high of a resolution as I am only able to see a portion of the picture. There doesn't seem to be any controls to fit the picture to the screen. I am trying to use the Scotland ones. I also did a bit of digging and found that those wallpapers are .mov files rather than a picture file like jpg or png. Can you even change the resolution of .mov files?

Thank you xaru_fushigi for confirming the problem. Apple has been really promoting these new "motion" wallpapers/screen savers. It's unfortunate that they have been implemented improperly as it is a nice touch in the aesthetics department. There are a A LOT of these new wallpapers/screensavers included with Sonoma, but as I said, they are simply unusable - not sure how this could have gotten into the final release. Again, thanks for confirming.

These wallpapers are actually Apple's screensavers / aerial movies taken from Apple TV. They can be downloaded in 4K as the maximum resolution and therefore look blurred on a 5K screen. This is most likely not a software issue. There is probably just no 5K material (yet).

I am having the same/similar issue. I am running a 4K external display connected to my M1 16" MBP. Everything has been crystal clear until Sonoma. ALL (yes, every single one) of the new "motion" wallpapers/screensavers are BLURRY. Maybe they were shot in 5K and look fine on the Apply display? - Not sure. All I know is that all mine do not scale properly @ 4K and are noticeably blurry to the point where they are UNUSABLE. I believe this is happening because it is taking a single frame from the motion shot and using it for the still background when not in motion. Each individual frame is not necessarily "in focus", but when set in motion you do not notice because it is essentially a .mov file.

To quickly view the downloaded screen saver, choose Lock Screen from the Apple menu. Want to see the transition in action? Log in to your user account. For more options, peruse our dedicated tutorial about using screen savers on the Mac.

The new moving wallpapers in macOS Sonoma seem to be packaged just like the macOS dynamic wallpapers, letting your Mac perform that magical transition from the slow-motion video on the Lock Screen to the desktop wallpaper imagery.

The coolest-looking thing in Sonoma is probably its collection of wallpaper-turned-screen-savers, mostly a collection of high-definition videos of cities or nature that smoothly and continuously zoom around their subjects.

Like some of Ventura's wallpapers, these new screensaver/wallpaper videos are downloaded on first use to save disk space. If you don't want to use them, regular wallpapers and screensavers in Sonoma work like they used to but with a more graceful transition to and from screensavers. Transitioning into a screen saver, your apps recede, and the screen either fades to black (for pre-Sonoma screen savers) or dissolves to the screen saver video. When you come out of a screen saver, there's a dissolve transition back to your desktop as your apps pop back in. It doesn't really add functionality, but it looks clean and attractive.

The screen savers also run much more smoothly on my Apple Silicon Macs than they do on my 2020 Intel MacBook Air, where the frame rate hitches often enough to be noticeable. Faster Intel Macs with dedicated GPUs ought to be fine; slower Intel Macs (like the 2018 Air and 2018 Mini) with worse GPUs may have even more prominent frame dropping. Try them for yourself and see if you find the performance distracting.

Or does it? Turns out Apple is using purgeable storage to "prevent" these screen savers from taking away from your usable disk space. The Finder is happy to keep purgeable files on disk for as long as there's space for them, but the OS begins silently deleting things as your drive fills up; the OS also generally treats iCloud files this way, clearing them from disk because it knows the files are still available in the cloud.

As the drive filled, macOS deleted more and more screen savers, though the disk space reported by Disk Utility and Finder never agreed again until the volume was within a few gigabytes of being full. Functionally, the Finder's reported amount of free space is the "canonical" one that determines how much you can copy to the drive, but it's not a true measure of actual free space.

Part of me thinks this solution is a clever way to offer a ton of screen savers without actually making the user "pay" for the amount of disk space the video takes up. I suspect the average user won't download more than a few, but even a half dozen of them can take up 5 or 6GB of space, which is a lot for an older Mac that only shipped with a 128GB SSD. Having the system purge these transparently in the background frees people from needing to think about it.

Officially, the only videos you can use to create these screen savers are the ones Apple provides. Unofficially, during the beta period, some testers were able to use their custom videos as slow-mo screen savers by copying one to the system folder where the screen savers live, deleting one of the official screen savers, and renaming the custom video to match the file name of what you just deleted.

In my testing in the release candidate version of Sonoma with a couple of different videos, they would show up on the desktop as a wallpaper and begin playing when you enabled the screen saver but would crash to a black background rather than slowing back down to a static image when exiting the screen saver. Those with more time and inclination may figure out how to get custom videos working consistently, but at least in my experience, the process is a bit more involved than simply plunking a video in a folder.

There's only a limited selection of built-in live wallpapers for your Mac, but the ones that exist are really beautiful. Try these out to see if you like an animated desktop background. You can always switch back to a still image if you don't.

Entire apps are dedicated to giving you galleries of animated and dynamic wallpapers to adorn your Mac desktop with. Many of them, like iWallpaper, allow you to simply click on a live wallpaper option and hit a Set as wallpaper button, so you don't even need to open System Preferences on your Mac.

Some apps keep your Mac's live wallpapers simple by just having them be slow-moving animations, like Earth 3D Lite. Others, like Live Wallpapers HD & Weather, offer practical images like clocks and dynamic weather forecasts.

Still, for just a few bucks, you can get some beautiful live wallpapers that you can install extremely easily on your MacBook or Mac desktop via the App Store. This is a great way to get live wallpapers if you're a little tech weary and want more options than the default dynamic desktops on Mac.

Many live wallpapers you can put on Macs are quartz animations, and you probably already have some quartz animations on your machine: the default macOS screensavers. These can be made into animated wallpapers pretty quickly.

A wallpaper or background (also known as a desktop background, desktop picture or desktop image on computers) is a digital image (photo, drawing etc.) used as a decorative background of a graphical user interface on the screen of a computer, smartphone or other electronic device. On a computer, wallpapers are generally used on the desktop, while on a mobile phone they serve as the background for the home screen. Though most devices include a default background image, modern devices usually allow users to manually change the background image.

The X Window System was one of the earliest systems to include support for an arbitrary image as wallpaper via the xsetroot program, which at least as early as the X10R3 release in 1985 could tile the screen with any solid color or any binary-image X BitMap file. In 1989, a free software program called xgifroot was released that allowed an arbitrary color GIF image to be used as wallpaper, and in the same year the free xloadimage program was released which could display a variety of image formats (including color images in Sun Rasterfile format) as the desktop background. Subsequently, a number of programs were released that added wallpaper support for additional image formats and other features, such as the xpmroot program (released in 1993 as part of fvwm) and the xv software (released in 1994).

Animated backgrounds (sometimes referred to as live backgrounds or dynamic backgrounds) refers to wallpapers which feature a moving image or a 2D / 3D scene as an operating system background rather than a static image, it may also refer to wallpapers being cycled in a playlist, often with certain transition effects. Some operating systems, such as Android, provide native support for animated wallpapers.

Live wallpapers have been introduced in Android Eclair to provide native support for animated wallpapers. From a technical point of view, live wallpapers are software applications that provide a moving background image and may allow for user interaction or utilize other hardware and software features within the device (accelerometer, GPS, network access, etc.).[7] e24fc04721
