Archive Offers Up All Past Mac and iOS Wallpapers

[Madd the Sane]

Bring back the flying toasters screen saver, THEN we'll talk.

Part of the problem is who owns the After Dark trademarks and/or code. I'm certain Activision owns the former, not sure on the latter. If anyone has the source code, I wouldn't mind trying to recreate a few screen savers with my marginal programming skills.

There is a Quartz screen saver out there. Here is a link to an archived version.

What are these "wallpapers" of which you speak?

Here in the Mac world, we have "desktop pictures." Never in the Macintosh System Software, nor in Mac OS, nor in Mac OS X, nor in OS X, nor yet in macOS have desktop pictures been referred to as "wallpapers."

Are you all (yes, including you, Juli) fifth columnists? Harrumph!

True, but note that you can, in fact, search Spotlight for 'wallpaper' and System Preferences will know what you mean.

Could you post a link to more 5k or 5k (upscaled) apple wallpapers? Thank you for the share I have started a new collection with these wallpapers.

The Toaster is back! Thank you! (macOS 10.13.6)

I recently read a similar article posted elsewhere, and it mentioned that the user who had established the collection of desktop images was located in Russia. I don't know if that is the Reddit user mentioned in the OP here.

Now, that kind of concerns me, for obvious reasons (obvious to me, anyway).

How do you know that you are downloading images that don't have some kind of malware or virus embedded in them?

I assure you that there are no viruses or other malware. Most of the pictures a pulled from system dmg and uploaded straight to Google Photos.


To add to previous comments: I don't ask you to send me money, but if you want you can. Totally I got $25.
