Susan Kare created works of art in 32×32 pixels for the original Mac
Susan Kare’s work on the icons for the original Mac in the 1980s is now the subject of a macOS Sequoia screensaver and wallpaper.
As expected, macOS Sequoia has added at least one wallpaper that harkens back to old favorites. In a wallpaper called just “Macintosh,” the famous icons that so made the original Mac appear approachable, are now shown on screen.
As a wallpaper, the icons slide in from the corners, with animation showing a cursor clicking, or the once-dreaded image of a floppy disk with a question mark, showing that a drive was missing. The equally famous bomb icon is here, as is “the crazy ones” text from an Apple Think Different ad.
The wallpaper is offered in light and dark versions, and also eight colors, plus Spectrum, Random, and Accent. There’s no control over which Macintosh icons get displayed.
