[opensuse-artwork] Abstract Backgrounds
by Francis Giannaros 10 Jul '07

10 Jul '07

Hi! I've noticed that in recent versions the wallpapers have generally moved away from the scenic/landscape images (though we had the chameleon for a bit) with a little branding, to more abstract monochrome type of wallpaper stripped of branding. I was wondering, were there any compelling reasons for this? Seeing the Fedora background (with the hot-air balloons and "Fedora" in the bottom-right) got me thinking a little. There are nice advantages to wallpaper branding: * Users always take screenshots. A completely different user can immediately recognise which desktop they're using if they see their desktop wallpaper, so that's really good for instant identification. * Making users more obviously proud of using openSUSE (this might sound petty, but it happens) I think a huge chameleon is way too bold and generally colour-rich for a background, but are landscapes ruled out? I wasn't sure if I was the only one that preferred a nice landscape so asked a few people, specifically pointing out a few abstract ones (10.2, 10.3, kde celtic) and some other landscape ones (stormgreen, etc) and most preferred the landscape ones and a couple said the kde celtic. Might not be a representative survey, but I think there's good reasons for at least having an abstract background with branding, or a landscape one with such. Any thoughts? What do others prefer?
