Actually, in the latest rawhide package the lion is there, but I am
already working on updating the package both with the updated images as
well as without the lion for single screen.

Is this for dual or single?

For single screen the lion shouldn't appear, only for dual on the right screen.

Yeah for me it makes the right half of my desktop unusable.  We can
argue whether the desktop should be used but the fact is that it is
today - and for many people they have icons covering both sides.

Also, it doesn't really work on the GDM screen.  Which is our initial
user experience.

Anyway, in general, I think this is one of the best pieces of art that
the group has put together.  However, I think maybe the half screen of
lion head is a bit much.  Could we see the same design but without the
lion head - just the background textures, lines, and birds - for
comparison purposes?  As it is there may be a bit too much high
frequency information in it.

Thoughts?

Leonidas background brightness

[Warren Togami]

Hi,

I really like the new leonidas lion background.  I have only one question.

I have various files sitting on the right side of the GNOME desktop. 
Their filenames are in white and are a bit difficult to read due to the 
brightness of the lion.


I am wondering might it be a good idea to darken the color of the 
background a bit so white filenames might be easier to read?

Re: Starry background

[Anuja KR]

hi
its looking good, it might look better, if the background is dark navvy
blue, rather than black. though black is a conventional color of night sky,
but to gel with fedora color scheme its better to use blue shades.

I think I would like better an image were the stars are not that sharp 
and which looks more "realistic", maybe something more like 
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Centre_of_the_Milky_Way.jpg or 
even better, see /usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/cosmos/cloud.jpg (which 
is awesome).


Just out of curiosity, how you made this image?

Background

[Paul W. Frields]

Hi team,

I was looking at the F11 Artwork page on the wiki:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_Artwork

...and wondering about (1) the group's progress in converging on a
background, and (2) what needs to happen, and when, for the background
to land in the F11 Beta.

The F11 Beta freeze arrives on March 10th, and it would be good to
have a background ready somewhat before that so there's time to tweak
it before the freeze.  As I understand it, once the desktop background
is decided, that will form the basis for the other theme pieces for
the Preview Release.

Thoughts, comments?

Pierros,

Yes, I saw that the other day.  I would love to have USBCreationKit in
the EventBox.  I'm way excited for all the good initiatives going on
in Fedora these days :)

Wanted to mention one other thing here, make sure to use https instead
of http for your wiki links.  http doesn't allow editing.

I disown the line. ;)

I didn't notice it either, but yes, the second line is more correct.

susmit,

Looks great.  Although the grammar could be improved slightly.

You put:

'You provide the pen, the rest it's up to us'

Should say:

'You provide the pen, the rest is up to us'

Very nice otherwise.  One thing I thought about regarding this is that
while it's nice to keep up to date on posters like these, I wonder if
a stable version for 3 or 4 releases would be more cost effective and
could go into an EventBox or something.

I think you should be resizing first, then cropping. It
doesn't sound like that process is going to result in the
objects in the image being the right size? Have you tried it
out on the solar images?

repackage gnome-desktop and the backgrounds in time then forward the
attached patch to the gnome-desktop packagers and see if they agree.


This is awesome! I do think it's a bit late in the cycle to
add this in, but this will save us a LOT of work for F11. (I
spent 12 hours redoing the backgrounds all day yesterday and
it was markedly NOT fun)

Does this patch *just* crop or does it resize down too?
otherwise for say 1024x768 you're going to just have one
huge sun. It should probably scale down and crop, right?

I filed a bug for this upstream in GNOME for you, including
your patch:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558241

Woops, should have mentioned that I also filled a gnome bug.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=558143

The patch first crops the image to the specified size and then after app 
the zoom/stretch functions behave just as before. So it makes image the 
closest aspect to the desired one by cropping first, and then resizes to 
the desired resolution. So for the 1024x768 desktop it would crop to 
1600x1200 (4:3) then scale to 1024x768.

Did we run optipng on our backgrounds?

I remember this saving a few megabytes last time around.


We did and Martin and I have plans to clean up the background packages 
so the default one is much smaller and there is a larger extras package. 
He's waiting on me to fix some bugs in the artwork.

background space usage

[Charlie Brej]

Current solar background's consume 33Mb. This a bit on the heavy side, 
especially on the Live CD which is over its image limit. Currently there are 4 
different images (morning, noon, evening, night) sent out in 4 different sizes 
(4:3, 16:10, 5:4 and 8:3 for dual screen).
What we could do is to send out just one 3200:1200 image and patch up 
gnome-desktop background handling to support cropping to the right aspect.


So currently we have:

4-3.png
16-10.png
5-4.png
8-3.png 


And since we are interested in the stuff in the bottom right corner we add an X 
offset:



8-3.png
8-3.png
8-3.png
8-3.png


This would allow us to ship just one 3200x1200 size of each time of day image.

I do realise this is very late since the freeze is on Tuesday, so this can 
easily wait till F11. But if people think it may be possible to repackage 
gnome-desktop and the backgrounds in time then forward the attached patch to the 
gnome-desktop packagers and see if they agree.

F9 Waves background

[JF]

I am very pleased by the new F9 artwork. One detail that popped to my eyes
though is that these annular objects in the waves background are rather
looking like smoke rings. In order to look like waves, the modulation
between minima and maxima would need to be more even, well, simply following
the amplitude of a sine function. Another point is that the rather dark hues
of blue used for rhgb are so similar to those of the the Fedora logo that
both are barely discernable. ~jf

Miniumum time for animated background?

[Luya Tshimbalanga]

Based on Mairin wave theme, I have create a set of wallpapers under the
folder wave-test.
Is there a minimum of time to set the animated background using
infiniti.xml as reference?
My version is called wave-test.xml. I have tried to use it but nothing
happened on the screen.

So, something like Elephants Dream? http://orange.blender.org/

+1 Mola, nice image! Your background, my cartoon, I challenge everyone

I see that Jhon has also posted on the gnome-list group and he posted
that the following command line should work:

gconftool-2 -t str --set /desktop/gnome/background/ \
picture_filename "http://somesite.com/wallpaper1.png";

So I guess, once we update the file, we should just run the following
command again and it should change it.

I am currently toying around with doing this in Java, if I have a
WebStart app running, I shall host it for you guys to try.

I am not the Python person (unfortunately).

This is easy to test: just change the PNG you use as a wallpaper and see 
Nautilus does not update by itself, you have to do *something* with 
either nautilus or gnome-background-properties..

That's a good idea! i think this can be done easely with just a python
or even shell script.
And how would Nautilus handle this? do you need to notify nautilus
that the background is changed? or is nautilus checking the background
all the time to see if it's existing? If the last one is the case than
rewriting the "desktop.png" file will work just fine.

http://art.gnome.org/backgrounds is one example, anything powered by 
ccHost (used at Open Clip Art Library), also Flickr, PicasaWeb or 
DeviantArt.


The RSS feeds would allow you to use things like: the latest background 
created by my favorite artist or my friend, the best rated image, the 
most viewed and so on.

How about this:

1. We set the background to a particular image (~/.desktop.png)
2. We have a background application that connects to a particular site
and keeps pulling down new images from there and then replaces this
pre-defined image?

Wouldn't the above work? Talking about RSS feeds for images, I am not

hehe that`s funny.

/usr/share/rhgb/main-logo.png has a few small dots (for stars) around

Anyone has a similar experience? Do you think we should do something

So do I, but the blue color used for the grub splash seems more to be a
fc5 color. Light blue and white for fc5 and dark blue and black for fc6.

I mean that there seems to be a gap between grub image and gdm image.
The couple grub and default wallpaper is fine, but gdm dark version
seems tnot to used the same color palette.

I did/do like the glass sphere as well but in the brighter version it 
looked less convincing.  It looked ok in the smaller pieces but to be 
consistent I've also changed those to the newer sphere.  It was a bit of 
a hard decision to make and Mola explored quite a few different 
materials in his renderings for a better fit.  We went with this one 
because it sat well within the existing environment, was fairly clean 
and still interesting.  There had also been a couple of other comments 
against the glass look because you could see through it and the lack of 
detail behind it was confusing some people, causing them to have see the 
helix as disconnected from the strands. I really did like the glass 
sphere and was a little sad to see that it wasn't really working as 
well.  But I think the new sphere is pretty good. =)



Given the amount of time and the number of graphics to be finalized I
believe you and Mola are probably the best choice in wrapping this up.
If you keep your status page updated I will be happy to test and provide
feedback on how they look.
  


Excellent.  I've been updating http://people.redhat.com/dfong/fc6graphics/
with new improvements.  If you could take a look, test, and make 
comments on the wiki it would be super.  Since as you've noticed, time 
is running out and the new bits could really benefit from testing. =)



If you have a specific need and if you believe inkscape or gimp will
craft it, always willing to help.


=) I've looked at your splash screen approaches. The ideas were good, 
though I think a few of them did not match the current theme. We should 
keep those and bring them up in the next release as possible themes.  I 
really like the fedora tag one.  However, your experiments did prompt me 
to try creating .svg ribbons for the 16 color limitations.


Please take a look at the variations.  Let me know 1) if it is too 
dark/light 2) if the pixelation is tolerable.

black.

New background

[John Baer]

Diana,

Thank you for providing your artwork on the new background. Just a
couple of comments.

1. When I view the new background on my Dell laptop the brighter image
did not display as well the original. On this computer I believe
something brighter than the original but darker than the current would
be the best solution. I must add this wasn't as big of an issue on my
desktop. The 810 video chip on the Dell may be the reason.

2. This is just me but I really liked the crystal/glass look of the ball
on the first design. I would encourage you to go back to that concept.

3. It looks like some of the rounded ribbons are more flat. I like that
enhancement.

Given the amount of time and the number of graphics to be finalized I
believe you and Mola are probably the best choice in wrapping this up.
If you keep your status page updated I will be happy to test and provide
feedback on how they look.

If you have a specific need and if you believe inkscape or gimp will
craft it, always willing to help.

Cheers,

John

Yea...I'm not entirely sure either.  I saved it again via the Gimp and 
manually set the black & white within the 16 color palette.  That seem 
to have fixed the problem.


I intend to review all the specifications required for the theme change 
before opening FC7 design to the community.  Hopefully by doing that we 
can eliminate the technical confusion and focus on the artwork.

Ah sorry, misread...I thought you asked if the "linux" thing showed up 
if I made it widescreen and whatnot.  ^_^
bitmap used is currently 1280x1024 72dpi...I have other versions if a 
different size is needed.  So far it looks ok, even on higher 
resolutions/sizes larger than the image itself.  But we can determine 
the optimum background size and replace it easily.
Also, you should double-check all the PAM messages to make sure they 
are showing up right. 
Yup, did some of that.  It is currently being looked into further...in 
addition to smart card prompts and such.  Matthias was testing it out 
last night and now Ray is looking at it as well.

It looks nice, but it's too dark. It looks black on my Samsung 757NF,
rather than dark blue (as it probably should). I prefer lighter colors
myself, such as Fedora Bubbles theme.

Good work. The "Fedora" text is Anaconda image has a 3D blend while the 
rest of them dont and some of the text in other images appear dithered. 
The blue progress bar in RHGB doesnt match the rest of the blue in the 
image.
