In the past, SUSE Linux 9.1 and 10.0 shipped with BEAUTYFUL wallpapers, installed by default ! This is important since this thing is the first one a user seems on his brand new desktop, and wallpaper is one of the criterions that make a man happy or unhappy about his new desktop, and I'm really unhappy due to the sorry state of SUSE wallpapers recently.
I don't accept the premise that the default wallpaper is of crucial importance to anyone. Most people will change it to a photo of their pet within minutes. But of course the wallpaper is a part of the distribution, and thus should be taken seriously. Any criticism should start with the guidelines, in my opinion: http://en.opensuse.org/Branding_Overview:Guidelines Personally I agree fully with the current guidelines. I too liked the power of the 10.0 wallpaper, but I also remember growing tired of it quickly, and I haven't been using it since. And I also realize that it contributed to the "scary" and overwhelming feeling many new users get when first exposed to the power of openSUSE. I just wish we could drop the blue with the waves which to me seems like a ripoff of Apple's default wallpapers. Something greenish would give us our own identity and I think this screenshot shows that a green wallpaper can adhere to the current guidelines: http://www.foresightlinux.com/sitemedia/screenshots/whole-desktop_t320.png -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help@opensuse.org
