macOS Mojave: What is Dynamic Desktop and how to use it

In a nutshell, once you have macOS Mojave installed:

– Bring up System Preferences
– Select Desktop & Screen Saver
– Click the Desktop tab
– Find a picture with the dynamic desktop icon (a circle with a parabola in the middle) in the upper left corner. Click to select.

As of beta 2, there is only one dynamic desktop set, the one they demoed in the WWDC keynote. But other people have successfully created their own, and seems likely to me we’ll see more before the final Mojave release.

As always, this is beta software, so backup before you install, then proceed with caution.

  1. Does this now work in dark mode? Mine always stays dark, even when I have the dynamic desktop selected.

  2. From the article:

    As of the public beta, if you are in Dark Mode, the Dynamic Desktop will stay in its “nighttime” mode. It won’t progress through the daytime parts of the wallpaper. If this changes in newer versions of Mojave, will update this article.
