Desktop mirroring pictures are different when using ommand F1

I have reinstalled for a friend on their MBP OS Mavericks.

He has chosen a different desktop picture than the Mavericks wave. The Aqua Blue picture appears as his desktop when not mirroring with another screen. But when mirroring with Command F1 the desktop picture is the Mavericks wave... not the Aqua Blue picture as on his desktop.

Can anyone assist?

Thank you....

MBA to iMac screen mirroring Hi. I have my new MBA running Big Sur. I also have my old iMac running Catalina. I'm trying to mirror the screen from my MacBook onto the iMac. On the control centre, I click on screen mirroring. Then, on the iMac, an icon shows on the left of the taskbar showing the window that I want to see on the iMac screen. I click on it and I'm seeing the same screen on MBA and iMac. Success.........BUT. When I then try to do anything on the MacBookAir, I'm expecting to see the same thing happening on my iMac screen. It doesn't. It appears to be stuck at the point where screen mirroring started. Any suggestions?

MAC MIRRORING I have 2 MAC's. A 27" and a 21". I am trying to make the 21" as a blank screen showing apps that I pull up on the 27". I have looked at Mirroring... but I am unable to get what I want. I did it once before but forgot how I did it. I have connected the two by the Lightening connection but do not see either screens. I would like to be able to copy files from the 27 to the 21 for viewing and use the files on the 27 for correction etc. Any advice is appreciated. I have tried all the advice in articles pertaining to this subject but have not been successful.

Check System Preferences/Mission Control and if Displays have separate spaces is checked, try unchecking it.
