Microsoft releases new 'Fluid Textures' desktop wallpapers

Did you know that Microsoft has a website where you can download various cool wallpapers and other design-related things? The microsoft.design/wallpapers website hosts multiple wallpaper collections, and it just received a new one to bring some freshness to your desktop in 2025.

The new collection is called "Fluid Textures." It was created in collaboration with George Stoyanov, a 3D artist who also helped other companies with wallpapers, such as Xiaomi and Apple. Fluid textures feature several backgrounds with a focus on "soft florals, fluid textures, and light-washed organic forms."

Each wallpaper is available in dark and light variants. If you want to make Windows switch them automatically on schedule or sunset/sunrise, you can use free apps like Windows Auto Dark Theme or WinDynamicDesktop—Windows 11 still cannot change themes on schedule (come on, Microsoft), so some help from third-party software is required.

Here are just a few wallpapers from the collection:
