macOS Golden Gate Gets New Wallpaper

[MacRumors]

With the third beta of macOS 27, Apple added new Golden Gate-themed wallpaper options to the Mac.

There are new Golden Gate Sunset and Golden Gate Night options, both of which join the prior Golden Gate abstract wallpaper that Apple introduced with the initial beta.

Golden Gate Sunset and Golden Gate Night animate when unlocking the Mac, and can be set as a screen saver. When used as a screen saver, the Golden Gate Sunset wallpaper features waves breaking on the rocks near the Golden Gate Bridge. The Golden Gate Night wallpaper shows cars driving across the bridge.

With past updates, Apple has included several themed wallpaper options, so more Golden Gate wallpapers could be added in the future. macOS Golden Gate is limited to developers right now, but we are expecting a public beta soon.

Everyone who has been to the Bay Area with a proper camera has taken that shot at Marshalls/Baker beach. Those rocks might be photographed as much as the Eiffel tower or Cinderella castle.

Looks very nice. Will definitely use this on my Mac.

Finally, a realistic wallpaper! The other Golden Gate abstract wallpaper is a disgrace, especially in light mode.

Looks nice. I've not changed wallpaper in about 18 years but it is cool that they put effort into this sort of thing ... just need to bring the same enthusiasm to fixing bugs and liquid glass!

Last good one was macOS Mojave

I hope they make this the default and marketing wallpaper. I’m really sick of the wavy colors, they’re so bland.

Looks more like a wallpaper. The old one was/is atrocious.

They have been using wavy colors or abstract as the default since macOS 11 Big Sur. The last time they used a realistic photo was macOS 10.15 Catalina. And now we have this, but not as the default.

The evening wallpaper and screensaver is beautiful!

So is it animated AND dynamic now, or at least switching to a darker version when in dark mode?

One of the big drawbacks of the animated wallpapers has been they’re at a fixed point in the day, and are bright at night.

Animated screensaver, two separate options

Unfortunately it makes the right hand side of the screen very busy (where I pile up my icons).

California's version of the Brooklyn Bridge.

Wonder why they didn't unveil it at WWDC. Looks beautiful!

It looks so serene. It’s a beautiful area and Bridge, despite how expensive it is to cross it.

That looks a bit AI.

Big sur actually had a realistic dynamic wallpaper (that changed throughout the day) but that was the last one.
