We need six wallpapers for the calendar. I would really love to see a calendar where there's a common red thread through all six images. Ideally users should be looking forward to see the next calendar image. I'd prefer all calendar artwork to be from the same artist to make sure there's a common feel to all the pieces, but this may not be feasible..? I'm also working on some calendar concepts, but I'm afraid that I won't be able to finish it before thursday... I'm on a tight schedule finishing my master thesis also. But by all means don't hesitate! Go create! :-D I just urge people to be verbose. Tell us what you're up to, so we all know which direction we are going. > PS: Another question, would it be possible to "patch" gnome to use > "layer backgrounds" - thats something I thought of because of the > calendar, so that everybody could put use their own background, which is > below a png etc. with a "alpha-masked" calendar!? But thats only a idea > I had yesterday.. The closest thing you get to this is transparent SVG wallpapers. They allow you to set background colors or gradients behind the image. Ideally I'd like every wallpaper (also calendar work) to be a transparent SVG so that they would go with all GTK themes. Actually this is exactly why I don't use the current calendar images. They are brown, but my GTK theme uses blue highlighting... - Looks weird. Transparent SVGs would solve this. The downside to transparent SVGs is that it's harder to incorporate photographs. - It's still doable though. I've also run into some trouble with gradients.

That was a long rant ;-P Before we embark on a long discussion, keep in mind that the current timeline leaves little room for discussion.
