Extra Wallpaper in Snow Leopard (Nature, Cosmos, Beach)

Posted by dacc on September 21, 2009

Snow Leopard contains slideshow style screen savers like “Forest,” “Beach,” and “Cosmos.” These present really beautiful images, which, frustratingly, aren’t immediately available as wallpaper. Here’s how to make them so.

Run the commands below in Terminal to copy the images into your “Pictures” folder.

mkdir -p ~/Pictures/Slide\ Savers/;
find /System/Library/Screen\ Savers/*.slideSaver -name "*.jpg" -exec cp {} ~/Pictures/Slide\ Savers/ \;

Now under “Desktop” in the “Desktop & Screen Saver” prefs, click the “+” at the bottom of the list and add “Pictures/Slide Savers.” All the images should be available.

Enjoy!
