From: Scott Silva ssi...@sgvwater.com Someone did a great job on the new graphic, but it is just not for me... Same here. New graphic looks nice but, for me, the high contrast on the right side makes the separation between (light) windows and a (dark) desktop less clear... No body complained when the graphics were in testing and posted on the list. So a majority of desktop users must like it... Anyway, desktops tastes vary a lot from people to people; you cannot please everybody. JD ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

I checked the artwork when it was announced and I liked it already then. Great work and thanks to all involved! It is beautiful artwork, but my vision is so skewed contrast-wise, that I cannot look at the screen with it showing. I need low contrast backgrounds. I wear sunglasses insides a lot, and suffer a lot outdoors. An Ophthalmologist once told be to be thankful I don't have the opposite condition, as I can always 'darken' a room with sunglasses. So I don't complain, just adjust my surroundings as much as I can... Of course, I tend to have a dozen apps open on each workspace so it is rare to actually SEE the background :) ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

It would be redhat-logos is the Package name redhat-logos-4.9.99-11.el5.centos,, But the version you want is older that that. You can browse through the mirrir sites to get it.
