Re: [ubuntu-art] My background submission.
Wonder if one can make the Jackalope be more integrated with the background?

Re: [ubuntu-art] My background submission.
I agree--pretty cool. I'd like to see it w/ the pattern just a bit more transparent, too. Very cool. Jake On Fri, Jan 30, 2009 at 2:36 PM, Dylan McCall wrote: > Those are awesome, Jacob.

Re: [ubuntu-art] My background submission.
Those are awesome, Jacob. I particularly like the last one since it isn't branded. (*Hint hint*). Branding is distracting; we already have a bunch of Ubuntu logos on the desktop and we needn't remind the user he is using it again. The added text also creates some distraction both from the awesome image and from the text that actually matters (like mounted disks on the desktop). Besides, by branding a wallpaper you're essentially making it proprietary to Ubuntu, which isn't very nice to those other distros ;) Just need a tall screen one for the three crazies out there who have dual monitors and narrow desks.
