I want the Leopard Grass Wallpaper to hold me off until October.

Somebody please link it when it becomes available somewhere on the internet!

update: Found by Hunden a few posts below! Mirrored copy here.

Don't you think it looks a little vista-like?

it's a shame they did not announce all this before vista was released... now it looks like vista pipped them to the post visually...

(i use vista at work)

I'm ashamed to admit that it took me a bit to realize that it was grass I had a long day

SO disappointing. I was hoping for a new swooshy blue background. I am still hoping there is one even though it might not be the default.

Admittedly, as Steve said, I don't use the blue background, but I use the other similar pictures in the abstract folder- I hope they stay (and are added too!) in Leopard (not that it's a major factor, I can obviously just transfer the pictures... but it would be nice)

Just about every linux distro has been using a Mac-inspired desktop background for a few years now. Time for a change, as far as I'm concerned.

Gaaaagh! I'm still breathing into a paper bag to stop the panic attack!!

*Breathe slowly*

What am I going to do without the Official Apple Blue Background(TM)

*Breathe*

I always use the OABB(TM) for my desktop. I never change it and I only ever use the one for the current release of the OS.

WHAT AM I GOING TO DOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo??????? Green Grass??!!! Noooooooooooooooo........

*Breathe*

*Slowly*

Maybe I'll just Photoshop the grass to be blue instead.

Yeah, that'll work..... Mwaahahahahahahahah.



Seriously though. I am going to shed a tear for the death of ol' Bluey. To my mind it screams "Mac" just as much as the logo on the back of a laptop...

Except that it's present in most Linux distributions, most Meizu media players, and in most Dell ads, for starters.

I agree that it's time for a change. I'm sure they'll still be a bunch of abstract wallpapers - many of them blue - to choose from.

Grass does seem kinda random, though. But I suppose it sorta fits in with the iPhone's "nemo" wallpaper - the whole nature thing or whatever.

and i guess i've known it all along / the truth is, you have to be soft to be strong

Could it be that Apple wants to look a bit "greener" after all the complaint from environmentalists?

Just installed it at work and in reality it's a lot nicer than it seemed!

Hmm... I managed to get it this morning. If it's not up soon, I might host it on my server. I don't want the link getting out, though. The last thing I need is to be charged for extra bandwidth this month.

[edit] Nevermind. It's on flickr. There are several sizes available, including 2560 x 1600.
