Worked fine until I tried to delete the file from the desktop. Required a hard reset. Had to grab another desktop from the library and then I could delete the M1 desktop file.
Got a tip for us?

Got it. Thanks. It's fun.
Now wondering why the wallpapers were in 11.3 but aren't in 11.4.... Want.
Not a huge fan of this batch. The arial shots of Big Sur are still my favorites.
Reminds me of the wallpapers on the original iMacs.
Hopefully this works. Had to zip it before it would let me upload it.
I would love to have some new Apple wallpapers... ever since interfacelift stop posting new stuff. I wonder if the wallpaper app will do a hardware check to see if my iMac is eligible? 
These new wallpapers are so ugly 😒
You can just drag them into the image well in the ‘Desktop & Screen Saver’ pane of System Preferences.
Thanks for posting that. It's on my desktop and opens in Preview, but seems like I can't drag it into my Desktop Picture folder or the Preferences pane. Any suggestions?
They aren't in the 11.4 beta, unless I'm not looking at the right place
That's odd. I right-clicked on the file and clicked Set Desktop Picture.
It'll be interesting to see if the desktop colors coordinate to the body color.
Apple did this way back when with the original iBooks: the tint accents in the OS elements matched the case — e.g., my “tangerine toilet seat” iBook had orange tinting in the windows, controls, etc.

I love these. Clearly a call-back to the desktop patterns that came with 5-Flavor iMacs.

Any chance you could share that library?
I've been drying to try to assemble one myself but cannot find the entire stock collection in full resolution.
For those who don't like the pastel colours; it's useful to know that these are light/dark theme dynamic, and the dark mode versions have much deeper shades.
Rename it to whatever you like! Just not the same name as a preinstalled screensaver.
Double click to open it once you’ve named it and the system will do the rest!
