... he made some nice ones.

My default WP has been the blue one (SS below) for a week, and I have to admit his work is great. I prefer this one instead of Win 11 original Bloom (dark one)! Thanks for sharing :thumbsup:

Recently another MS unreleased Bloom WP has been leaked. It's also great, but much closer to the macOS Ventura WP!

It reminds me of:

Yes. Microsoft showed them as a banner on Twitter (about 2/3 weeks ago), and all Twitter (also me) asked them (under their post) to release them as a wallpaper pack. They did it today on Twitter.
I didn't download all genres! Every pack is about 100 MB. I'll download all of them tomorrow morning (I am going to sleep, here is 10:10 pm). I would share the best of them here.

I found Windows11 wallpapers/backgrounds in different colors online! I choose the pink! It also displays the File Explorer title bar with a shade of the background color, then match the color for the accent color in personalization to display in Start and Taskbar. I found the hex code but it doesn't appear as exactly the same color in all locations. If you use Google browser then choose to use the default color in its' personalization settings which will display close to the taskbar color in Windows.

Yeah! A new headache on Reddit since a week ago! I am an active member there, but I'm not in!

Download completed. I'll make a collage and share the thumbnail here. If you like each of them, tell me to share it here.
Most (almost all) of the WP (=Wallpaper) websites (which provide WP to download) make a copy of the original WP, and by doing that, they make the quality worse. Most WPs with a gradient in these websites have awful banding problems, but their original file has no such problem.

Windows 11 doesn't allow you to use some specific HEX colours because of text to text's background colour contrast ratio issue (black or white text legibility on a specific colour)!

All wallpapers are here (133 files from the zip folders above):

Ya, I deleted that post when I saw it won't link to the reddit site. Just use any picture you have or find something online. I also googled WIN11 backgrounds and found some I like.

I can enter the hex color but it appears as a different shade of that color. My File Explorer title bar, Start Menu and Taskbar are all hex C239B3, but don't all display the same color.

The Taskbar colour (HEX) code is under Windows 11 control (not under user control). AFAIK it makes colours a bit more saturated and a bit darker to provide better: Taskbar to Taskbar icons contrast:

#1: Title bar colour = Hue 307, Saturation 71, Brightness 76
#2: Taskbar colour = Hue 306 (almost the same colour tone), Saturation 77 (more saturation), Brightness 50 (less brightness/darker)

Yes I've tweaked a bit and tried to match colors as close as possible.

Where can I get that one at?

Recently I've been watching a YouTube video about Windows anniversary (the video was about anniversary edition unboxing). I decided to create a wallpaper based on their box cover design (cause I like that design)!

Maybe you like it, too! This pack contains two versions, HD and 2K (PNG format without compression). Of course, this is the 11F Edition (the badge on the bottom of the WP).

Update: I have replaced the original "Win 11 bloom" with its 4K version (instead of HD), on the 2K version.

I like this one, too. Any chance you can remove the small "ElevenForum" rectangular box?

Thanks!

Google WIN11 wallpapers and backgrounds. Save to your pictures, select it Personalization.

I think he's referring to the Bloom dark wallpaper collection that the blue Bloom wall was part of. Here's the link; Bloom Dark - 5K Wallpaper Pack by dpcdpc11 on DeviantArt
Sadly it looks like you have to purchase them now. I had free promotional offers for all the collections but liked them so much I donated to some of them anyhow. I have seen a few individual ones on other wallpaper sites available for free download. If you search for Bloom wallpapers you'll probably find them.

Hi and thanks for responding. Yeah, I'd pay it as a one time payment, but I don't want to set up a deviantart.com account in order to do so. I'll search around.

I'm stll looking is the one where you can remove the small "ElevenForum" rectangular box. That one also looks cool.
