Btw the dynamic wallpaper folder with the 16 files included in the dynamic wallpaper file also contains the day and night wallpapers as they were taken from the dymanic wallpaper file.
You could have this CD tile extracted from the System Suitcase of a Mac OS 9.2.1 CD. I haven't managed to do the "Mac OS Default" tile, as I still haven't fully understood the resource. If anyone wonders, open the System Suitcase with a resource editor, the tile is in ppat, and is ID 16. To get the resource to JPEG, it involved separating the colour table and the actual data by opening that resource in the hex editor, and running everything through a script that turned it into a RAW. Then I opened the RAW with photoshop, put in length and width and exported it as JPEG.
Edit, see my other post below for better images.

which is resource ID 16 inside ppat resource of the System Suitcase (of a full install of 9, rather than the one from the CD).
to the RAW file which was produced by my script and finally converted by photoshop to get this :
Edit, see my other post below for better images.
The jpg tiles in OS X, exactly like the ppat tiles in 9.
I'll have to get the CD tile and Default tile from Mac OS 8 out now.

I just installed 8.1 and 8.5 and didn't notice any pictures that were not here already. I got this pattern out though:
Edit, see my other post below for better images.
I can't get the CD tile out as it looks different to the other ones in a hex editor, and my script doesn't work with it, but here's how it looks just as a screenshot.

If there was a way to get ResEdit, or some other resource editor (I use Rezilla on High Sierra), to allow displaying pixel patterns with dimensions of 128x128, then I'd be able to copy it far more easily, but the editors seems to be limited to displaying 64 as the max width and height. These tiles are 128x128. Getting it by a screenshot feels like cheating.
[doublepost=1532609498][/doublepost]Well I just found a way to get these out very easily. No hex editing and guessing anymore! They look better than the ones that have gone through my script too. (not offset at all)
I got an old version of Graphic Converter, 6.0, https://www.lemkesoft.de/en/products/graphicconverter/download/download-old-versions/. Made a new 128x128 image, and saved it as a ppat from graphic converter, after selecting show all options, open the .pat file in Rezilla, deleted what's inside the ppat resource, and deleted PICT resource. Copy the ppat resource ID 16 from the System Suitcase save the modified .pat, open it back up and export it as PNG. So here are the tiles right from the suitcase, which haven't gone through my script, but rather graphicconverter and Rezilla:
Mac OS 8 CD:
Mac OS 9 CD:
Mac OS 8 Default:
Mac OS 9 Default:
As mentioned, the wallpapers can be tiled in settings in both Mac and Windows. This was done on my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 9,1 running Mojave.
The 4 files have been added to the dropbox and are now available to download.

I updated my Google Drive folder with the Solar Gradients wallpaper extracted files and I converted the Mojave dynamic wallpaper files to jpg to match the system default. @Gamer9430
[doublepost=1532718101][/doublepost]Also, to give credit where it's due, the amount of people that contributed to the albums for macOS and iOS wallpapers on Google Photos is probably a lot and if you look at the dates you'll see that they have been working on this since 2003 for macOS and 2011 for iOS. It's unfortunate that you weren't aware of them when you created this thread but to be honest they have done a better job. The only reason we know about them though is because of the shoutouts they have received from Mac Rumors which was only a couple of weeks ago so you couldn't have known about them last year. Well done, but they beat you. @Gamer9430
PS: Sorry if this comes across as rude, it's simply my own opinion based on the amount of time you both have been working on this and the amount of wallpapers that you have both collected.
I tried out some those wallpaper-jpeg-pictures I've sent in on my early-2008 intel-MBP and they had a rather poor resolution. Did I do something wrong extracting them from os9?
@RossDarker: yeah, those smile-on-your-mac tiles look great! I also like them on my os9 machines and with SheepShaver

Thats unusual, since I didn't seem to have an issue with them in terms of poor resolution. Which ones in particular did you try?

Just so you're aware, in regards to the 2003 for macOS and 2011 for iOS... The wallpapers for Mac OS X 10.0-10.3 remained the same aside from the addition of a couple more wallpapers in later releases, so they probably took the wallpapers out of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther, which was released in 2003. A lot of wallpapers were added with 10.4 Tiger, 10.5 Leopard, and 10.6 Snow Leopard. Then 10.7 Lion removed many if not all of the previous wallpapers from Tiger and earlier, as well as Leopard and Snow Leopard. This trend continues all the way through to Mojave, where old wallpapers are removed in favor of new ones, instead of continuing to add on more wallpapers. As for iOS, there were no "wallpapers" until iOS 4, which was released in 2010/2011. There was only the option to set a lock screen picture, and the home screen was a simple black screen. iOS 4 however, added wallpapers for devices that supported it.
Its not like Google Photos existed in 2003 and people have been adding to it ever since...
