I’m obsessed with my MacBook background

🥰🥰🥰🥰

2025/8/7 Edited to

Changing the wallpaper on your MacBook can completely refresh your user experience, making it feel new and personalized every time you log in. From my own trial and error, I've learned a few handy tips that helped me transform my desktop into a vibrant workspace. First, choosing the right size for your MacBook Air or iMac is key. For MacBook Air, the ideal wallpaper size is usually 2560 x 1600 pixels to ensure a crisp, clear background that fits perfectly without distortion. To change your wallpaper, just open System Preferences, head to Desktop & Screen Saver, and choose from Apple's selections or upload your own image. I even explored customizing backgrounds specifically for Safari, which adds a creative touch when you open new tabs. Plus, setting dynamic wallpapers that change throughout the day can keep your MacBook visually interesting. If you're wondering about the terms I noticed in some wallpapers like "REMD," "EYDRA," and "KEYDRA," these might be part of branded or themed images, adding a unique flair to your background. Trying different themes and images can help you find the perfect aesthetic that matches your style and mood. Overall, regularly updating your MacBook's wallpaper is an enjoyable way to keep your digital workspace inspiring and personalized. Don't hesitate to explore various sources and sizes, and remember to adjust settings to fit your screen seamlessly!
