Hi folks,

I've received a few complaints about the f9 wallpaper (it seems the

alternative designs for it but trying to keep the same look and feel of
the rest of the artwork.


This is one of the ideas I've been working with -

Do you think it's a good direction? Do you have ideas on how to bling it
up?


What people didn't seem to like was the flames on top. The original
sulphuric waves gray wallpaper and associated artwork was very good IMO.

Whoa. Almost looks like a UFO is abducting my taskbar.


Oh crap, I totally see that now too.

This is a slightly different render of it, does it look less invasion-like?

They don't like the sulphur, either. I've heard it referred to as 'dog
crap', 'cheese', and 'nuggets'. And some other less savory terms.


But you pull the sulphur out, you don't get the reflections, the water
looks flat and dead. So the wallpaper doesn't work so well without it.

It looks like a underwater view of the wave. I think these wave needs to
be dynamic i.e spreading toward. It will be also an opportunity to take
advantage of the script Matthias created from Fedora 7 where the wave
varies weekly. The effects should be subtle. Máirín, do you have the
svg version? I will give a try tonight.

Maybe replacing it with something else sulphuric? Eg.:

Looks good! The only thing I miss there are the reflections... ;-) Only
one thing bugs me, devel freeze is very near, we are way after the round
3 freeze... Are we going to make it in time?

Oh, and to the UFO thing.. IMHO the rays feel like UFO, but it is not
necessarily a bad thing

So for this, if we are able to make it in time, +1 from me.

If we scramble, get the colors picked today, and finalize the wallpapers
tomorrow and get them packaged and in rawhide, we'll make it in time.

We'll be able to get final backgrounds in, even if they are a day or two
late. The purpose of putting the current waves background into rawhide
was to get some feedback, it would be silly to ignore that feedback
now ...
