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?
- It has limits what can be done with it.
- It is time consuming creation of graphics.
- When you want to change image ratio, you still lose parts.
So, what makes all above acceptable, and raster images not.
With vector graphics, scaling is not a problem at all. Elements could be easily re-arranged. With Pixel graphics you will always loose something, even if they are layered correctly. It's also easier to create other artwork elements from Vector images. And there are hundrets of other reasons. Richard will likely add some more. ...
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.
This is a chicken and egg problem. If noone packags them, they will not enter the default distribution. At the end, it might be a question of space that is left on the installation media. You could always ask on opensuse-project about that. As we got tons of other things to do for 12.3, I will not take care about that, sorry.
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.
The workflow is as follows: First publish it here (either as a direct download link, or even better in the artwork git). Afterwards it needs to be pushed to branding. Forking is a good way to do so: https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo Branding is documented well within the branches, e.g.: https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/blob/12.3/README General instructions can be found here: https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/blob/master/README Greets Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
