How to Find Hidden Wallpapers on Mac – Guide

You can still access the stunning images from OS X Mountain Lion’s screen savers on Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan. Here’s how to use them as wallpapers for your Mac or any other device.

Attempting to drag the entire “Desktop Collections” directory into the desktop preferences panel won’t work, as /Library/ is a system directory with distinct rights. To access the photos, simply drag and drop each individual folder into the desktop settings panel instead of making a copy of them.

Access hidden wallpapers on Mac in Desktop Preferences

Users can quickly access a specific folder by pressing Command + Shift + G in any Finder window and entering the path.

The Mac OS X operating system offers a variety of screen savers to choose from, with collections available in the Library’s Standard folder.

To access your desktop settings, open the Apple  menu and select “System Preferences,” then “Desktop and Screen Saver” and choose the Desktop panel.

Users can quickly and easily add their own folders to the desktop by dragging and dropping individual “Standard Collections” folders into the sidebar of the desktop preferences pane.

Admire the beauty of your freshly revealed wallpapers.
