macOS 11 wallpaper

I kinda miss the wallpaper being the landmark location of the name.
Although this brings it very inline with iOS.
Maybe the landscape wallpaper will be an option in the beta/future release

Yea, where's the landscape one they briefly showed. With its bright colors this one looks a bit off on Mojave.
The Big Sur picture featured on the wikipedia page is much better.
The Big Sur dynamic wallpaper is still there.
It’s very nice and saturated. It looks like it’ll get really yellow too

FYI my wallpaper in that photo is the official macOS Big Sur wallpaper

I can’t get the colourful abstract dynamic wallpaper to appear, it just shows me the old Catalina one, but the new Big Sur one works
I'm on Mojave and in System Preferences it shows the Mojave but on the actual desktop is Big Sur.
I can only get Catalina to appear too. I can't get the new "macOS" one to appear. It just keeps going back to Catalina. Must be a bug in Beta 1...
Yeah, it’s stated in the release notes, you should have changed it before upgrading. I should’ve changed it before upgrading!!
After having the same issue, I managed to get mine to the new abstract background by manually going to the Desktop Pictures folder in Finder, right clicking and setting it as the desktop photo that way. I made sure my previous dynamic background was set to “Dynamic” instead of day or night still. Hopefully in the morning it’ll change to the daytime version... We’ll see!
Hey, could you tell me where you found the "Desktop Pictures" folder? I'm not able to find it in Finder. I know it was normally saved in "/Library/Desktop Pictures/".
The path is /System/Library/Desktop Pictures
Also if anyone wants the original HEIC images - which have the day and night versions, you can get them from my OneDrive here:
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.
Store photos and docs online. Access them from any PC, Mac or phone. Create and work together on Word, Excel or PowerPoint documents.

D'oh!
it’s already there, someone just shared that HEIC file here.

Yeah, for some reason on Mojave custom dynamic wallpapers always show the thumbnail for the default Mojave Wallpaper, but when you set it you do get the actual wallpaper. Catalina does update the thumbnails.
