I love this one but, it might be too bright for my taste since I rarely use my mac outdoor or bright room but dimmed one.

Is it possible to have darker versions? Or if you can share this one and I will use them AI tools to edit it.
I posted the original up above, but here's a quick and dirty dark version. There's a grey and a green version in the original wallpapers from the early OS X versions.

This is what the desktop of a senior citizen looks like. Clownfish is my favorite wallpaper ever and I always use it.

I use the Mac the same way as I did in the 1980s. Hard disk icon and lots of files on the desktop. The way I’ve always done things. Of course I cleaned it up before I took the screenshot. You should see what it looked like before.

Another dead giveaway that I’m a senior citizen is the 1080p resolution. I refuse to wear reading glasses so I need everything to be big.

How did you got these Pill shaped menu bar ? Looks sick
I am using Ice Menu Bar app

Find the Menu bar appearance in Ice then, scroll down you will see Menu bar shape there is a shape kind dropdown, select split.
then play around with dark and light appearance tint,shadow,border to fine tune. (there are set to none for I).

The in macOS Setting app under Menu Bar, turn on Show Menu Bar background, this is important.

Downgraded to Sequoia, couldn't be happier.
My M1 Pro came with Tahoe 26.2, kept it for a week, didn't like it: It didn't feel as smooth as it should've felt, and I can't get over the fact that they removed the Launchpad: I WANT MY APPS IN FOLDERS, IN FULL SCREEN. I DON'T WANT TO SEARCH FOR THE F-ING APP NAME: showing every apps unorganized under a search bar is just messy as hell
And reducing the transparency is a half-baked band-aid on a problem that doesn't have to exist in the first place

Sorry, I know this thread isn't for ranting about Tahoe, just wanted to let it out.
