I've received a few complaints about the f9 wallpaper (it seems the
sulphur is really unpopular) and I've been experimenting with
alternative designs for it but trying to keep the same look and feel of
the rest of the artwork.
I saw my share of complaints too, both on my blog and on fedoraforum,
interesting how those complains happened only after Round 3.
However, and *someone* has to say this, I am concerned about the mixed
message we are sending around, I will serve a quote I just read (I was
offline over the week-end, so I saw it at about the same time with this
thread, even it is a couple of days older), I think you will find this
quote familiar:
"As I said earlier (if anyone disagrees please speak up, maybe I am
alone in this) I think it's far too late in the F9 process to start
changing the graphics - we've already completed all of the core graphics
for F9 and had them checked into rawhide. This week was the devel freeze
for F9 IIRC and it will already be a scramble to get revisions into what
we have in as we get feedback on it. To bring a new idea/concept into
what we already have I think is too disruptive at this point in the
release process, but refinements on the current designs are certainly
welcomed."
This is one of the ideas I've been working with -

Do you think it's a good direction? Do you have ideas on how to bling it
up?
Too bad I was offline and had no chance to speak earlier (all the /temp/
images are gone by now). The version you have blogged about is nice, it
have a similar "soft" feeling with Infinity, so I expect people who
liked Infinity would like it too.
As for the particular implementation, what is the plan for the
wide-screen option, add on the edges or just cut from the bottom? (that
would work too)
