As a user I don't really care what the background is, so long as my subjective impression doesn't find it offensive. If I find it offensive it's only a few clicks to replace it. If I was a Gnome developer I'd probably be keen to see the upstream presentation preserved; as a user I do find some value in this. If I was a Fedora design team member I'd probably be keen for users to have access to the Fedora version of Gnome 3, equally as a user I would like to have this option. Isn't it crucial to keeping everyone reasonably happy to let the users have the option to choose from both alternatives, and wouldn't a first boot question fit that perfectly? -Cam _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
