Macintosh isn't the only new macOS Sequoia wallpaper, with Apple also adding "Helios," which is featured in macOS Sequoia marketing materials and Apple images. Helios animates with a gradient design.

To see the wallpapers in their full glory, macOS Sequoia is required. The operating system update is available to developers right now, with a public release scheduled for the fall.

Man, I love that Apple is showing love for their vintage stuff and their heritage! This, the iPads and iPhones having their original wallpapers now as well, the iPods in their marketing, I love it.

Retro wallpapers need retro screensavers (i.e. After Dark) to go along with them.

I want my Bad Dog, Flying Toasters, and Hula Twins.

Until then, I'll settle for https://www.bryanbraun.com/after-dark-css/all/flying-toasters.html

Next step: retroOS… the ability to run the latest OS with the Aqua of 10.2
They already gave the Classic Mac stickers in Messages, they should also have a nod to the vintage wallpapers to remind people of the good ol days

What is this, “remember when we didn’t produce total buggy crap!”?
I loved the rock solid stability of the System 7 era! I never had to reboot multiple times per day.

ETA: I really hope people understand the sarcasm here.
