Trio of Friends Create Missing macOS Wallpaper of Monterey Landscape

My gmail has been invaded by spammers (very explicit porno, bs money offers... the whole nine yards) and it happened shortly after installing this on my MBP. I'm guessing it's due to something I did, but just in case, anybody else have the same coincidence?

I have not any any issues after downloading this image. But, I think Gmail has changed their spam filters recently, because about 3 months ago I started getting flooded with the same kinds of spam you are complaining about. It’s so bad I considered closing my Gmail account. Now I just filter all spam directly to the trash and try not to look at the trash again.

Yes, that's all unfortunately. It sounds grouchy and ungrateful to complain about a free gift but the lack of real night shots does let the dynamic desktop package down. The cloudy skies aren't ideal either really. A+ for effort and good intentions, B+ for execution

I think that's because the official MacOS Big Sur Dynamic Wallpaper is photoshopped to hell and back, so these more natural looking ones are a bit mundane in comparison.

BUT, I photoshopped my own night version and added it to a custom dynamic wallpaper with the rest of their shots to get what I wanted. Maybe insane, but now at least my laptop gets dark enough.

Yes, I'm sure you're right! I'm interested to hear about your custom version: any chance you could make it available for download?
 
I followed the instructions in the first couple of posts, and the .heic file displays fine dynamically - EXCEPT, it does not fit! I have a 16" MacBook Pro M1 Max, and standard display settings:

However as you can see in this screen shot, all 4 edges have stuff showing, as the picture does not fit:

I am using "Fill Screen", but I have also tried "Fit to Screen" and "Stretch to Fill Screen", and they don't fill the screen either. I have tried the process including a re-download, several times. Do you see this, if not what have I done wrong?

EDIT: This happens when I activate the "Desktop" Hot corner!

Actually, from further testing, EVERY wallpaper seems to have the borders not right, are others seeing this when Hot Cornering to desktop?

I assume you're using the 'Show Desktop Mission Control function? If you are, those are just all the windows pushed to the sides to show the desktop.

Quit all open apps and the wallpapers should reach the edge of the screen.

Liking this wallpaper, the abstract one was not really doing it for me. But then I like to change up the wallpapers every so often.
 
It looks like the vyncher.com website is broken. Anyone have an alternative location for the dynamic image?
