Updated my F15 test machine. Nice Supplementary Backgrounds there... very impressive.
About the Default wallpaper: I agree with you mostly. Is the file still huge? Something tells me we might get better results if we take the raster route (as against vector drawings -- in finalizing). We are dealing with nature and nature presents a lot of challenging complexity.

Hi all,
I finally got around to update the package with wallpapers (after conquering my laziness, fruitless waiting for hi-res versions and fruitless waiting for selected supplementary wallpapers list).
Of course, I need karma to push it into Fedora.
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lovelock-backgrounds-14.91.0-1.fc15
The included pngs are exported from SVG [1] referenced on wiki as I have found no suitably hi-res PNGs. It took ages, I wonder if my laptop is just too old... The gnome version appeared on the wiki too late, since there are multiple changes in progress over the various places, I think I'll have to wait some more with adding it and setting it default in gnome.
Plus, what's up with supplementary wallpapers? Looks like we won't have them in beta ;(
And, I'd like to provide some constructive feedback to the wallpaper itself for post-beta polish:
- The sky and moon are simply awesome, I like them, the stars might need adding some details for higher resolution
- The bird has some rendering issue, I wasn't able to fix it in the SVG and the presented PNGs are have too small resolution to use
- The tree looks great from afar, but in detail it looks odd, perhaps adding some detail might help
- I don't like the mechanical bird, IMHO the one in gnome version looks better
- The land is IMHO too simplistic and looks more like quick sketch than final design, I'm not sure though how to improve it :(
Cheers, Martin
