![]() Here we can see that there are indeed two images in this one file, the light version and the dark version. So just using the Preview app that's built into your Mac already. ![]() So I'm instead going to Control click on it and then choose Open With and then Preview.

So let's go now and create a new Tab here in the Finder so we can go to a new location. We want to have that one to go back to just in case.

The one we're looking for is called Big Sur Graphic and we're going to copy this by going to Edit and then Copy or just Command C.

We can easily customize and create your own version of this wallpaper and you can keep the light and dark mode functionality as well.
