Requiring SVG is a miss. I'm not sure how that happened that SVG is a requirement.
SVGs are necessary for distro design. Pixel-art can be used for supplementary artwork.
What is dictating vector graphics? 1) It has limits what can be done with it. 2) It is time consuming creation of graphics. 3) When you want to change image ratio, you still lose parts. So, what makes all above acceptable, and raster images not. ...
From what I read through the lines is that you contributed some nice photos (which many of us like) and want them to see in the distro, right?
You are reading too much between lines. Nice photos there belong to many people. There is only 1 mine that I would put as a wallpaper, but, not as good as other. In other words it is not about me. I see quite a bit of sophisticated graphics in other distros, and I have wish to see the same in openSUSE. openSUSE-artwork at Flickr is nothing more then collection that is easy to review, plus collection that is easy to access by many authors that use Flickr.
If so, prepare a supplementary wallpaper package and with your photos.
If you managed that, we could discuss afterwards, if we want to make some kind of public contest for additional background images.
Hmm, contest is coming first. No discussion about that. Second, if graphics will not enter default openSUSE installation then there is no need to package it. Flickr is more then enough. Everyone knows how to make downloaded image a wallpaper, and that is alternative to politics of art.
SUSEgreeter is really simple. I could provide a background image for that if you can't work it out. But it's not top priority on my list.
It is simple if all work is to create replacement for 12.2 green graphics. Just pick the grow wallpaper and slap it to background.svg, but that way is halfway, but at the moment it seems the only option. Not to mention, that when it is done, I have no idea how to submit it back to github, as there is no explanation how to use branding repo.
