Let's drop it down to something like maybe 40%. Then using the Color Wheel here I can adjust the color a little more to get it to what I want but also I'm going to take the Opacity and drop that down. I'm going to click here and then Show Colors. Now let's go and alter the color a little more. So I'm going to click here and then click here to remove the border. So I'm going to choose a blue color like that. I'm going to alter the rectangle clicking here to set the Fill to a color. Now I 'm going to create a rectangle that's going to put this rectangle here. If you don't see these markup tools click this button here to get to them. Then I'm going to go to the Markup Tools if I don't already see them there. So with it desaturated all the way down i'm going to close this window here.
So using these two controls you can actually do a lot to change the color but I'm going to show you a different technique that'll more easily get to the exact color that you want. I could even then change the temperature so change purple to red or to blue. Now I could simply go and use Tint now to tint it make it a green version or a purple version. So I still have the light and darks but the colors are gone. Basically turn it into a grayscale image. The one I'm going to use right now is Saturation. Now anyone of these can be used to adjust the colors here. So I'm going to use Tools and then Adjust Color and this brings up some color adjustment tools built into the Preview app. Here I'm going to use the minus button a couple times so I can shrink it and see its edges a little easier. Here we can see that there are indeed two images in this one file, the light version and the dark version.

So just using the Preview app that's built into your Mac already. So I'm instead going to Control click on it and then choose Open With and then Preview. Now if I double clicked on it to open it up it's actually going to open it up in a third-party graphics app that I have installed which isn't going to work because this file actually contains two images the light mode and the dark mode. Now we can see a copy of the default background. Here I'm going to create a new folder and I'm going to call this Desktop Pictures and I'm going to Paste a copy of this file in here. Here I am in my documents folder and that would be actually a good place to store our custom version but instead I'm going to use Go and go to Home and then go into the Pictures folder. So let's go now and create a new Tab here in the Finder so we can go to a new location. We want to have that one to go back to just in case. We can't change the one in the System folder and we really don't want to. The one we're looking for is called Big Sur Graphic and we're going to copy this by going to Edit and then Copy or just Command C. Under here you'll find a folder called Desktop Pictures and this is where all the default system desktop wallpapers are stored. So it's important you're in System Library not just library. From there we're going to go into your main hard drive and then into System and then Library.
To do that in the finder create a New Finder window and we're going to navigate using the Go menu to the computer level. So first let's start by finding the actual desktop wallpaper file. We can easily customize and create your own version of this wallpaper and you can keep the light and dark mode functionality as well. But some people would rather it not be so bright or maybe just be a single color with different shades. It's bright and colorful and kind of matches what you see in iOS as well. Now people have different reactions to the default Big Sur background. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts. There you can read more about the Patreon Campaign.
