Hi, first to introduce myself. I'm 29 years old fiber-optics technician and a linux geek from Croatia. I used fedora since came out but for my primary desktop since FC5 (i used openSUSE before and Mandriva before that, ubuntu just doesn't work for me). I'm also a amateur photographer and have worked with different artists as a critic for last 10 years. This is really hard for me to say and I apologize in advance because all of Fedora Artwork team does great job, but I really have to say what I think. I have seen this: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/F9Themes/Waves and it frightens me if this is going to be the Fedora 9 theme... or anything near this. If these are only sketches then ok. But this bring me back to Fedora 8 theme proposal when I saw current infinity theme proposed and I thought it will never pass quality check - how was I surprised when I booted Fedora 8 for the first time. I know that some people are really satisfied with Fedora 8 theme, and that different people have different tastes but still I feel fedora 8 theme as too bland, too simple (and I love zen simple design!) and just too plain. FC5 baloons were nice, FC6 DNA theme was amazing!, F7 hot baloons were cool but I just can't say anything nice about F8 Infinity. I used Fedora as my primary work desktop since FC5 and for work also (since FC6) and I upgrade my home systems always to latest Fedora - this is the only wallpaper I changed from default and I believe that says a lot. Unfortunately, I have no creativity talent (except photography) and I cannot contribute directly except as an constructive critic. Please, please, pretty please go with a more bold wallpaper theme this time. Thank you once more for all the work you have given to Fedora project and I hope you accept these comments as constructive because this is my intention.
