Set up your first wallpaper

You installed LumaSpace. Now let's get something moving on your desktop.

  1. Open LumaSpace. You land on the Home tab with featured wallpapers.
  2. Scroll around. Tap any wallpaper that catches your eye.
  3. You'll see a preview playing. Like it? Click Apply.
  4. LumaSpace downloads it (takes a few seconds) and sets it as your desktop background.
  5. Close or minimize the LumaSpace window. Your wallpaper keeps playing.

What's the gold "Pro" badge?

Some wallpapers are Pro-only. They have a small gold badge. Free wallpapers have no badge and work without subscribing.

What about the menu bar?

Notice the small star icon in your menu bar (top-right of screen). That's your remote control. Click it to pause, resume, adjust volume, or switch wallpapers without opening the full app.

Auto-start

After your first wallpaper, LumaSpace automatically sets itself to start at login. Next time you restart your Mac, your wallpaper will be ready.
