Hi Bart,
while I agree on what you said above, the included screenshots in my
eyes completely contradict with it. High-contrast, highly saturated
wallpapers are anything but easy on the eyes.

I recommend looking at the desktop styling guidelines, particularly
the wallpaper section*. It's important to see what's on the desktop
rather than having the wallpaper obfuscate it.

cheers
