Wallpaper Weekends: Instagram Gradient Wallpaper for Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch

Wallpaper Weekends is a series that works to bring you stunning, high quality wallpapers for your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, Mac, and Apple Watch.

Our collection this weekend comes courtesy of Jason Zigrino, who has supplied us with some great wallpapers in the past. This weekend’s wallpaper set uses the same gradient as the latest Instagram icon. Jason was kind enough to allow us to share them with you. Follow him on Twitter, he comes up with some excellent designs.

After you’ve saved all of the wallpapers you’d like to use, open the Photos app on your iPhone and move the new images to the album you use to share images with you Apple Watch. Now you can go to your Apple Watch, select the new wallpaper as a watch face, and customize it to your heart’s content. If you do download several of the wallpapers and move them to your Watch, you can even set them to rotate between them each time you view your watch face!

Download & Installation Instructions for the Mac

From your Mac, click your mouse pointer on one of the images. When the full-sized image appears in your browser, right-click or CTRL-Click on the image, and click on “Save Image As…” to save the image to your Mac’s hard drive.

Now, right-click or CTRL-click on your desktop, and select “Change DesktopBackground…” In the Desktop & Screen Saver dialog box that appears, click the “+” button at the bottom of the left panel. Navigate to the directory you saved the wallpaper in, and double-click the wallpaper filename.

In Safari, you can just right click on the image in the browser and click “Set As Desktop Background.” That both changes the desktop AND saves the image.
