I realize this is hardly the most important/interesting aspect of the operating system but I thought this was amusing and maybe others will find it amusing too:
I have the macOS Sequoia 15.0 Public Beta installed on 2 different Macs. One is a 15" 2018 i9 Intel MacBook Pro, and the other is a 16" Arm M3 Max MacBook Pro. Both report the same build number of 24A5298h. Both are set to use the same 43" TV on my desk (via a KVM switch) that I look at when using them non-portably, which is most of the time.
The two both use the default wallpaper, which from what I can notice looks exactly the same in the morning and late at night. Starting in the afternoon though, the Arm Mac one is colored blue + orangish-pink, while the Intel Mac's wallpaper will be colored blue + bright yellow. I have supplied screenshots to show the stark difference, with both screenshots taken only 7 minutes apart. These differences affect the integrated screensaver too.
I can't help but be curious about what's going on here. Maybe I've somehow configured something differently that would affect the color without realizing it? If so I'd really like to know because I like the yellow look a lot better and would want that on both machines if I could. Or maybe this is some intentional differentiator to separate Arm and Intel Macs? I'm confused.
Maybe someone knows where to find the default integrated wallpaper/screensaver in the file system so I could try copying it over to see if each install somehow has a completely different copy?
Maybe people could post what Mac model they are using with the Sequoia Beta and what the colors of the default wallpaper look like for them?
