Re: [ubuntu-art] On the subject of koalas and wallpapers.
I think it all comes down to the final integration of art and photograph. Maybe http://www.desktopography.net/ can help for inspiration? Although it's got some wild pieces with a lot of contrast, you'll also find proof that the contrast can be soft if done right.

Yes it does tend to be loud, but I personally feel that the jaunty wallpapers weren't loud enough. I am sure we can find a way to tone it down a bit once I have something worked out on this dream-state idea. This dream-state idea is awesome, I will work on this more. How much vector is too much? How will I know? I suppose it will have to be done on trial and error basis. -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art

[ubuntu-art] Organizing Incoming/Karmic

Nobody replied when I proposed something like that a while ago. Again I decided to wait until there is something to sort, except for: Wallpapers exists, I just called it Backgrounds. Because the appearance preferences call it that. I'd be OK with * Backgrounds * Mockups * Themes * Graphics/Other But how about we switch off automatic sub-page listing and require everyone to add a link and short description to their page? Such explicit links could be organized into categories without having another level of pages. -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
