Desktop Wallpaper: November 2024 With Microsoft

As we count down the final months of 2024’s Designer Desktops, Microsoft Design is bringing us a dose of zen just in time for the bustling holiday season. This month’s desktop design is ready to calm your screen and your spirit.

You might be giving away your age if you can recall the Bliss wallpaper that Microsoft designed in the fall of 2001 from memory. Those vibrant, rolling green hills, paired with the charming antics of Clippy, shaped a whole era of tech. That image graced computers everywhere – from our home desks to library kiosks – and cemented its place in desktop history. Now, as Microsoft prepares to celebrate a massive milestone – 50 years in 2025 – their designers are reimagining Bliss through a modern lens, evolving the landscape scene with fresh expressions for today’s world.

For November, the desktop takes a quirky, cute turn: a moss-covered frog-like house floats serenely on a lily pad amid open waters. It’s a playful wink to the Bliss of yesteryear while offering a calm, refreshing space for your tech – because who says a little whimsy can’t be relaxing?
