How to use dynamic desktop in macos mojave

With macOS Mojave, Apple has introduced what's known as Dynamic Desktop or Dynamic Desktop , which is nothing but wallpapers that change according to the time of day, adjusting the lighting and the appearance of the wallpaper progressively in line with the progress of the sun in the sky.

The dynamic desktop

Thanks to this new feature, for example in the afternoon, the lighting on the wallpaper is at its maximum brightness and the image of the Mojave desert is represented as if you were visiting it during the day with well-lit sand dunes and a bright blue sky.

On the contrary, already at night, the sky in the wallpaper changes to a darker blue to reflect that it is already dark. The change between day and night occurs gradually throughout the day, so you can see subtle changes every time you look at your Mac screen.

Activating the dynamic desktop function is very simple, just follow these steps:

• Open System Preferences. Choose Desktop and Screensavers .

  Select one of the two options currently available in the "Dynamic Desktop" section under "Desktop." Using the drop-down menu below the name of the wallpaper, make sure "Dynamic" is enabled.

There are currently two wallpaper options in the beta version of macOS Mojave, which work in both light mode and dark mode. Apple will probably add new varieties of dynamic desktop in the future, some developers may even be encouraged to enrich this experience with their own contributions.

Apple's Dynamic Desktop feature is based on your location so you can match the lighting on your wallpaper with the lighting on the outside, so to use it, you must have location services enabled on your Mac.
