macOS Tiger Redux

A wallpaper so nice, I remade it twice!


Early in my creating career, I naively decided to take reimaging the famous Mac OS X Tiger wallpaper with a modernized Mac flair - brighter colours, clean lines, and softer gradients. No biggie.

The end product was macOS Tiger, a fun homage to an iconic wallpaper, released in late 2021. The wallpaper remained untouched for nearly two years until I needed something for an upcoming post. That got the ball rolling on me creating a few new variations of this wallpaper, which I am excited to release for the iPad, Mac, and iPhone. This trio of wallpapers includes an updated Aqua version, a bright summertime version, and a beautiful twilight variation that reminds me of the extended sundowns we get during summer.

These wallpapers have also received a debanding treatment courtesy of Pixelmator Pro, which should hopefully result in a design with fewer artifacts. Enjoy.
