Featuring bubble-style lines with colorful gradients, the wallpapers come in Mac Purple, Mac Blue, Mac Pink, and Mac Yellow. The design and the colors spell out the word "Mac."

Beta testers can use the new wallpapers by opening up the System Settings app, going to the Wallpaper option, and scrolling down to the Pictures section.

Apple typically makes all of the wallpapers that it designs for Mac marketing images available to all Macs, so the new Neo wallpapers join wallpapers created for the MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and other machines.

The Neo wallpapers are already live in macOS 26.3.1. Is MacRumors just copying 9to5Mac which has a reputation for being sloppy and not fact-checking their claims?

I thought they would be awful as a screen saver, and burn my eyes out on my MacBook Pro M4 Pro (standard texture).

I was right they are awful.
