Hey everyone, I just updated to macOS 26.2 and my wallpaper gets blurry, I think it's a bug. It look normal when I click two liquid glass options in settings but after a moment it becomes blurry again, does anyone know how to fix this?
MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 26.2
it looks normal in screenshots, but it's blurry in real life and I just realized that when I add another Space using the same wallpaper, it becomes blurry. But if I set a different wallpaper for each Space, everything looks clear
I wonder if it is the newer style wallpaper with motion/movement.....called Dynamic Wallpapers which is the default with Tahoe?
Try changing the wallpaper to a non-Dynamic one in the System Settings.
Bugs can be reported to Apple here:
Same thing happened too.
Lot's of people is arguing about this in Reddit.
I just changed my wallpaper to a flat colored wallpaper until the issue is solved.
I hope they fix it with the next update because this is not pleasing at all.
when I add another Space using the same wallpaper it causes blurry
Same thing. After i updated to macOS 26.2 my wallpaper gets blurry after adding new desktop, so it's clear only if you just using 1 desktop. more than 1 = blurry
Hello,
This is indeed a significant issue I'm experiencing also... Some Reddit threads have also mentioned it: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1pll7pe/macos_262_introduces_a_new_bug_the_wallpaper/https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1pll7pe/macos_262_introduces_a_new_bug_the_wallpaper/
I have the exact same issue. Expected better from Apple.
I have to say, your screen shot doesn't look blurry at all.
I finally got around to testing on my M3 iMac running Tahoe 26.2. Adding multiple Spaces with the identical wallpaper shows no blurriness for me.
Same issue. I know it's just cosmetic but it's extremely distracting aesthetically. It's a 3K laptop and looks like it's 10 years old now. Dissapointed there's no fix, from what I can tell.
