Hi all, I've been searching the web for a long while now and I can't find anything. Maybe it's just my rusty English (second language of course). I have an app called "dynamic wallpapers" that creates two wallpapers into one where one is light and the other is dark. The light one is automatically selected by my system when I have the light theme on, and the dark one is also automatically selected when I have the dark theme on (I hope this makes sense). I use the gnome desktop on Linux if that helps. So, I'm looking for wallpapers that are exactly the same, but one is dimmer than the other for both themes. For example, a picture of a mountain with the sun above it, and another with the same mountain and everything, but it's night time and the moon is there instead of the sun. Or just like the windows 11 default wallpaper, the light one and dark one. I really hope I'm making sense. Please ask me for more details if I'm not making sense. Does anyone know of any website that has such wallpapers? Please let me know. I'd very much appreciate any help. Thank you.

I understand what you're asking but I'm having trouble finding results too. I found a thread where someone else was asking the same thing but not many options.

Thank you so much. I thought I was losing my mind. I searched for "day/night wallpapers" and "light/dark" and nothing. I even asked AI and they don't know shit. Lol. What did you search for exactly?

I tried "matching light and dark wallpapers".

I found this, dynamicwallpaper.club searching for “macos dynamic wallpapers”.

Not sure what format they are in but recently ditched windows for Linux/kde and noticed KDE has some semblance of desktop wallpaper switching. I haven’t tried it out yet but maybe this helps out somehow.

Thank you. I've actually found this one, too. This is for macos and these wallpapers are all heif format. There is a way to get them working on KDE, I know that for a fact because I had it running on my desktop at some point, but this is for walls that change with time of day, which is not what I'm looking for. I'm looking for plain dark and light walls of the same picture.

You can also check out the wallpaper submission threads on KDE Discuss. They tend to give both versions for selection as the official theme. They also tend to use the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, which is ideal for wallpapers.
