Every major version of Mac OS X macOS has come with a new default wallpaper. As you can see, I have collected them all here.
While great in their day, the early wallpapers are now quite small in the world of 5K and 6K displays.
Now Apple has created its own version of Flux called Night Shift that lets you do the same thing. To use Night Shift you need macOS Sierra 10.12.4, which is still in beta as I write this post. Shifty was made to expand the capabilities of the built in Night Shift feature in macOS. You can disable Night Shift for specific apps, websites, and custom time periods. It also provides easy access to a slider to fine-tune your color temperature. Shifty also allows you to schedule Dark Mode based on the Night Shift schedule you have set up. Mac OS/Linux: (1) Install Anaconda. (2) Create a new environment, install GDAL with GUI. Also you can use the following command in terminal. Conda create -n conda activate conda install -c conda-forge gdal (3) In terminal, use following command to decompress. Gdaltranslate -of GTiff Tiles. Night Eye allows you to enable dark mode on all websites to customize your browsing experience. The Night Eye extension is a great tool to protect your eyes if you are browsing late at night, working in low-light environment or read extensively. Instead of simply inverting, the extension analyses the pages' colors and images and converts them.

Complete with a revised, unified user interface and shiny new Dock, 10.5 broke the Aqua mold. As such, Leopard was the first version of OS X to break from the Aqua-themed wallpaper. It ushered in the 'space era' of OS X wallpapers, which was used heavily in the new Time Machine interface as well.

Plot[edit]
Eighteen-year-old Liz Taggart has gone to a lovers' lane with her boyfriend, Owen Clark, who has not yet been introduced to her parents. Unbeknownst to them, a childlike peeping Tom named Harold Loftus has been watching them. Loftus knocks Owen unconscious and overpowers Liz, taking her to a shack.
A couple on a motorcycle try to revive Owen with liquor, but they leave when he doesn't wake up. Police arrive and mistakenly conclude that Owen is drunk. At the station, night-shift captain Ed Bates hears the story and realizes that Liz is the daughter of the day-shift captain, Dan Taggart.
While holding Liz prisoner, Loftus kisses her against her will. Loftus' mother, Mabel, phones police when her son does not return home. Liz manages to get hold of Loftus' gun, but she finds it's not loaded.
Taggart is furious with Owen, blaming him for what has happened; but his wife scolds Taggart for intimidating their daughter to the point that she kept her relationship secret. When the police officers find the shack, Owen saves Taggart's life by leaping on Loftus at the last second. Taggart begins beating Loftus, who cries out for his mother.
After Loftus is taken into custody, Taggart invites Owen to accompany Liz back home.

Production[edit]
Filming[edit]
A Cry in the Night was made for Jaguar, Alan Ladd's production company, despite Ladd not appearing in the cast.[10] It was based on the novel All Through the Night by 'Whit Masterson' (Robert Wade and Bill Miller) which had appeared in Cosmopolitan magazine. The New York Times described it as 'an intensely compact book. and an unusually rich one'[11] later saying it was one of the best films of the year.[12] The director, Frank Tuttle, had worked with Ladd on a number of occasions, most recently in Hell on Frisco Bay, that had starred Edward G. Robinson who was discussed initially for the lead.[13] The cast included Edmond O'Brien and Richard Anderson, who was Ladd's son-in-law and was borrowed from MGM.[14] Brian Donlevy left a play commitment to appear in the film.[15][16]Natalie Wood was under contract to Warner Bros.[17] It has been claimed that Wood lobbied to play the role in part of exorcise demons from her own real-life rape.[18] During the making of the film, Natalie Wood had a relationship with Raymond Burr despite Burr's being gay.[18]
Screenplay[edit]
According to Turner Classic Movies, a number of changes were made from the novel:
The girl in the book was knocked out early on and treated like a piece of furniture from then on. Her boyfriend wanted to help rescue her, but was sidelined by her bullying father, an unsympathetic brute in pursuit of an equally monstrous villain. There just wasn't much there for any actor to grab a hold of. David Dortort took the book's outline and reconfigured its details to make the characters more compelling: the sex fiend was now a repressed mamma's boy. This 32-year old virgin has no other way to spend time with a woman aside from abducting her to a secret lair. And the object of his rapacious attention would no longer be an unconscious object, but a girl equally frustrated by the smothering attention of an overprotective parent, and capable of recognizing some humanity in her attacker. The boyfriend would no longer be relegated to the margins of the story, but would join the father in the hunt, where the two would have plenty of dramatic tension and mutual disrespect crackling between them.[18]
Reception[edit]
Critical response[edit]
Film criticBosley Crowther of The New York Times wrote in his review: 'NATALIE WOOD, Warner Brothers' seemingly ubiquitous teen-ager, who so far this year has endured quivering captivity in The Searchers and The Burning Hills, again plays the vulnerable feminine hostage in A Cry in the Night, which came to the Palace yesterday. This time Miss Wood's abductor is a sex-crazed maniac, played by Raymond Burr. He snatches poor Natalie from the arms of her boy friend at a place called Lover's Loop and holds her under duress at an abandoned brick factory throughout the length of this rather tasteless and make-shift melodrama.'[19]
In Manoah Bowman's 2016 book Natalie Wood (Turner Classic Movies): Reflections on a Legendary Life, he states Natalie had to 'fight to be cast in A Cry in the Night after completing Rebel hoping to stretch her dramatic skills in a gritty psychological thriller.' Instead, the film 'proved to be a disappointment', although her co–star, Raymond Burr and Natalie started dating.[3]
