I was trying to figure where is the best place to reply: on the wiki 
where almost nobody seems to read comments, on your blog where I need a 
LJ account, so here is probably the best place.


Yes, I think it is too purple. It would be the *first* Fedora release 
with non-blue graphics. (note: yes, I know you received complaints 
PLEASE not have an ALL BLUE background again, but I believe the color 
blue is part of our identity) Anyway, I think all purple is better than 
the blue-purple combination you tried in some places.


I don't think is too distracting as a background, the white is soft and 
blurred, not solid, hard and contrasting.

Perhaps you should make the bridge a little bit abstract or subtle. The last
background feels strange as the rays look distracting.

Would you mind posting some screenshots with the rawhide window manager

Purple is to be used very sparingly in artwork. You'll almost never
see largely purple pages in ads or magazines, because that's a colour
many people don't react well too (learnt it the hard way a few years
ago). Seems we're wired to associate purple with sickness.

If you do purple you need a very contrasting colour so the result does
not appear predominantly purple. That or a red fringing.

Sorry for the late answer, but the mail somehow didn't arrive until
today. Definitely not what Nodoka should like. I suspected that it's the
combination of Fedora 7's gtk and rawhide's gtk-nodoka-engine and indeed
it is. You can either update the gtk to rawhide version or rebuild the
gtk-nodoka-engine package.

I don't have the material under the eyes but IIRC it was purple-dark
blue with a white/blue element in the middle.

I think (but I may be wrong) that a purplish gradient with a bright
warm yellow/red element (such as sunset) is fine, as is a flat bright
purple element within some other totally different colour (like a
flowerbed against a white wall, blue sky or green vegetation). What
trips human distate is purple to another cool colour gradient (blue,
white, gray) without something to offset it. As I wrote before this
kind of colour does not happen in nature except in a sickness context.

I put together in gimp some different colour variants of the fourth
wallpaper, as I like that one most of all. The purple somehow reminds me
of Christmas - not a good thing in the middle of summer :-D... So I made
in inkscape two blue gradients (brigther and darker) and in gimp
desaturated the original version and combined it variously with the
gradients. The first one [1] I include only because I think there is
some feeling in it, but it's not good for default Fedora wallpaper...
Its too bright and has no trace of blue ;-) But it's somehow mystical...
The second [2] is light blue and third [3] is darker blue. The dark one
seems to look best on a desktop.

Máirín, do you want me to do a screenshots of your wallpapers together
with rawhide's default gnome theme? I don't run rawhide, but use the
nodoka theme which was recently made rawhide's default and also have
installed the rawhide's default icons (which are the same as in Fedora
7). However, IMHO, the wallpapers fit Echo icons better than the Mist
ones... Do you have any special request as to what app(s) should be used
on it? Note, however, that I have wide (16:10) screen so the wallpapers
will be cut...

I honestly like the last one that Mairin did with the rays of light. When I
first saw it, the impression I had was that of a ghosted roller coaster
track, taking us up and off the wallpaper, as if going into the infinite
abyss above. In a lot of ways that's what the chosen theme is about anyway.
Taking people to new unknown places. As for the colors that she used, I
think the purple isn't bad persay, but based on the experiences that Nicolas
posted about, perhaps that gradient should be narrowed to just the top part?
I clearly those two colors work good together, but maybe should be more off
balance in regards to area they cover.

I also like what martin did with the colors for the 4th one, but I think, if
anything, the yellow one should have some sort of hint of blue, just for
visual tying to previous versions of Fedora. As much as blue isn't wanted as
the only color, it is one of our forms of recognition in the open source

 http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/art/infinity/gimp-processed

vertical lines of the base theme; it breaks the monotony and lifelessness of the

orthogonally placed with the vertical lines is just absolutely gorgeous.

Great work everybody! :)

 Máirín, do you want me to do a screenshots of your wallpapers together

 That would be great!
 
 I do think the colors need to be adjusted a bit to fit the Mist icon
 set. It should be okay to just stretch the wallpaper to fit the 16:10
 screen, it'll give us a feel for the color match. Maybe have a nautilus
 window open with some icons and maybe the wallpaper dialog?

Nodoka was accepted into the fedorahosted. I did an initial sources
import and initial setting of the track page [1]. You can get the
sources with 

git clone git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/hosted/nodoka 

If you wish for write access please use ssh protocol instead
(ssh://git.fedoraproject.org/git/hosted/nodoka), go to your fedora
account and ask for approval in the gitnodoka group.

Thanks,

Very good revision here. There are some very strong leading lines all over

The purple is an accent color, not the primary color. If we were to 
reject particular colors because of their symbolic meaning elsewhere, 
we'd have no colors left to work with.


Also, Gentoo doesn't have much to do with this part of the thread?


Not asking anyone to reject Purple. Just pointing out that it is already 
being used predominantly in another distribution and that to a extend 
invalidates the argument that people dont like purple as a color.

I see what Rahul is saying. He's not saying that we shouldn't use purple
cause Gentoo does, he's saying that because Gentoo does, we shouldn't shy
away from the color.

  Purple is the Gentoo color. See http://gentoo.org including their icon
  theme.
 
  Isn't it kind of silly to reject any single color because of its
  symbolic meaning to another distro? Even SLES has used blue as the
  primary color in some of its themes:

Do Note I was objecting to a very specific way to use purple
