I would strongly recommend just using one of the png wallpapers as the base image to use right now as you can be assured those are okay to use. >> Yeah, MgOpen Modata for the release number (10), disk title (x86 >> LiveCD) >> and for the url (fp.o).

I think I can changed it soon. It definitely doesn't look like MgOpen Modata, I'm not sure what's gone wrong for you. >> That is a real concern when printing on the real CD on large scale, >> but for inkjet sleeve printing (do yourself at home) it is not a problem. > > Ye guys, you are right.

It is only the disc designs themselves that are color-limited because of the screen printing process used to print them. So the colors are fine, but I would replace the image with one of the wallpaper pngs because it looks like it's one of the older, uncleaned versions. ~m _______________________________________________ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
