How to Fix Big Sur: everything seems fine except desktop background

This mini-guide provides a structural approach to troubleshoot and fix the issue.

Prerequisites

  • Confirm your hardware specifications (CPU, GPU, Motherboard).
  • Ensure you have a bootable recovery USB and backup your EFI.

Fix Steps

  1. Check if your GPU requires WhateverGreen or specific boot-args (e.g., agdpmod=pikera).
  2. Ensure Metal acceleration is fully supported for your macOS version.
  3. Update Lilu and WhateverGreen to the latest versions.

Verification

  • Reboot and verify if the functionality is restored and stable under typical usage.

Original Question:

For some background pictures, the right side seems to be garbled (see attached screenshot). But some pictures seem to be fine. If I open those pictures under /System/Library/Desktop Pictures with Preview, they are also correctly displayed.

I have not observed anything else out of order. But it's kinda weird. I didn't have this issue on previous versions. I've been running Hackintosh on this machine since 2016.

Any ideas what's going on or should I be worried? Thanks.

Spec: Gigabyte Z170MX Gaming 5, Skylake 6700K, GeForce GT730 dGPU, OpenCore 0.6.6, Big Sur 11.2.2
