If you are running Chrome 67 on your Chromebook, there is now a flag available to you that will allow you to enable the still under construction new wallpaper picker.  The new picker replaces the old style picker which has been in the platform since, well, forever.  It brings a refreshed, Material Design look to the picker and eventually will marry up with the backdrop wallpaper changer that is found in Chromecast.

That’s where the under construction part comes into the equation.  Right now there is a commit in the Chrome OS Gerrit that points to a new wallpaper that is enabled by default and that it will marry up with Chromecast.  The idea is that your Chromecast and your Chromebook will have the same look and feel and will be drawing from the same service in the background to give you your wallpaper options.

With the release of Developer Preview 2 for Android P yesterday, there was also a new wallpaper amongst all the new features of the build.  The thing is, if you upgraded your phone to DP2 from the Android Beta Program, you didn’t get the new wallpaper… until now.

Thanks to Semih Celik, it is now available for everyone.  Semih posted it on his G+ page yesterday and I have no added it to the wallpaper page here on the site as well as to this post after the break.

Yesterday we got a glimpse of the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S9 thanks to Evan Blass.  Now, once again thanks to him, you can now download the default wallpaper for the new device.

For those of you who aren’t interested, I’ve posted the wallpaper after the break.  If you want to download it, continue reading.

If you have seen the articles flying by about Fuchsia OS, especially the detailed breakdown by Ars Technica, you might be wanting to get your hands on that pretty nice default wallpaper for the OS.  Now you can as I’ve attached to this post after the break.

If you aren’t familiar with Fuchsia, it is a yet-to-be confirmed new Operating System that Google is developing.  Some are suggesting it is a replacement for Android but currently you are able to run it on a Google Pixelbook to test it.  But it is rough, really rough.  In fact, it would be safe to refer to it as pre-alpha at this point.

The new Google Pixel 2 and 2 XL will be launched tomorrow but that doesn’t mean you can’t get the device’s new wallpaper today.  The new wallpaper has been added to the Wallpaper page here on the site and it ready for you to download along with the hundreds of others.

The wallpaper is designed for phones with a 1440 x 2880 resolution.  I have added it to this post after the break so those who aren’t interested won’t have to wait for it to load.

While we are still a few weeks out from the Samsung Galaxy S8 being shipped and available, that doesn’t mean you can’t get the look of it on your phone today.  I’ve not received and posted on the wallpaper page 18 new wallpapers that will be shipping with the Galaxy S8.  This brings the total to 21 with the three that were released earlier.  All of these new wallpapers are in QHD so you can put them on any device or tablet and enjoy some of the great looks.

For those of you who are not interested, I’ve purposely posted them after the break so you don’t have to wait for them to load in your browser, your mobile or in the app.  Those who are interested, tap the headline and you will be able to see them and download them.
