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

Martin, thanks for an update!

I use the land for progress icons [1] ;-) with some flowing leaves animation...

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.

The gnome version is now ready as well. I decided to put it into lovelock-backgrounds-stripes* and it will be used [only] in gnome as default wallpaper. The update that does this is pending testing and is in need of karma (I believe that beta freeze is due this Tuesday, so it would be good to have it pushed in before then) ;-)
