This macOS Sequoia wallpaper pays tribute to classic Macintosh icons

Apple is introducing a new dynamic screensaver and wallpaper combo in macOS Sequoia that respectfully eulogizes retro Macintosh iconography. Simply dubbed “Macintosh,” MacRumors reports that the animated wallpaper shifts through graphics designed by Susan Kare, the artist and early Apple employee responsible for many of the typefaces and interface elements on the first Macintosh personal computer.

Users can’t control which icons will appear in the randomized Macintosh wallpaper. Some recognizable highlights include the iconic “Happy Mac” boot-up icon, the Dogcow (also known as Clarus) used within the Print Setup dialog box, the floral-inspired Command icon, and the Bomb that appeared when classic macOS crashed. The wallpaper is available in eight colors alongside Spectrum, Random, and Accent.
