How to Set macOS-like Dynamic Wallpapers in Windows 10/11

Dynamic wallpapers, dynamic desktop, dynamic background, or even animated wallpapers are some of the best features that Apple introduced with the macOS Mojave. Depending on the time of day, these dynamic wallpapers alter their look. Windows 10 is an ideal operating system, but Apple does some stuff a little differently than Microsoft. So, in this guide, you are going to learn how to set or get macOS like dynamic wallpapers in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Furthermore, the macOS Mojave update has added Dynamic Wallpaper on macOS, and Apple has launched more live wallpapers for Catalina and the forthcoming Big Sur updates. I find myself drooling about the elegant and physically appealing backgrounds as a Windows customer. Sure, we have some of the best live backdrop Rainmeter skins, but to be honest, the dynamic wallpapers are just better and well-built. So, if you want a complex MacOS wallpaper on Windows 10, then you’re in the right place. Here, we’ll teach you how to load Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur interactive wallpapers on Windows 10.

What are Dynamic Wallpapers?

First introduced with macOS Mojave in 2018, dynamic wallpapers automatically change to match the time of day in your location. To date, Apple has provided a fresh, dynamic wallpaper that matches the theme of each new macOS release. It has also introduced a few minimalistic designs that also adjust ever so slightly as the day marches into the night.
