MacOS 27 Wallpaper and visuals look like 2023

[applesith]

Apple seems to have lost its creativity with the new wallpaper and visuals for the 27 family - this looks just like the titanium images from the iPhone 15 Pro launch with the greige and dark indigo. Even the curved shapes look the same. There is nothing very Golden Gate about this look at all for MacOS.

and the (important) complaints begin.... 🙄

EDIT: seriously, i don't mean to be combative. but this is a new OS; surely there are bigger things to worry about? especially as you can painlessly add your own wallpapers...

Some people only care about the important stuff like wallpapers, sidebars and corner radius

If you look at the iOS 27 wallpaper, it is a stylized "27" composing the image (a 2 on top of a 7).

The same effect doesn't seem to carry over to the macOS/iPadOS version of the wallpaper, but it is kind of there.

There are included San Francisco bridge wallpapers also.

At first I was "ok" with the default wallpaper, but after using it for a day..I like it. 🙂

If the wallpaper reflects the overall philosophy of this OS, then I can see just using a similar concept as before in creating it, while just updating it a little.

Tested my apps and all work and it seems faster, including macOS looking better. No noticeable issues with the OS so far.

I did not mine L.G., but this tone down a little version is better suited for the Mac.

Look forward to release date. If the final is as good so far as the beta, then this could be one of the best first releases with minimal issues that I can remember.

After all these years I still have to admit that aesthetically most pleasing wallpapers are ones that came with Big Sur - Peak, Tree, Valley and Dome. They have well done dynamic transitions and look good on both light and dark theme.

Design in 2023 was kinda peak though, or close enough. They're now trying to do glassmorphism(Liquid Glass) with neumorphic elements (side and top bars) with skeuomorphic vibes (aqua).... but flat.

To me the Golden Gate wallpaper looks like it came off the set of Golden Girls, maybe an easter egg? It has that 80's/90's color and vibe going on.

Can you let people have their own opinions? I don't really care about the wallpaper that much either but it's far more annoying to have every thread filled with people whining that people are critiquing something.

Let me say it your way: Surely there are bigger things to worry about than someone complaining about wallpaper. Especially as you can painlessly scroll past a forum thread without even reading it
