Yes, asking for that choice would be bad usability and a real reason for us to be shamed. As much as I oppose having the upstream wallpaper as a default, I would agree is better having it instead of asking the user to choose at the wrong time (firstboot). > I would be much more worried about first impressions of things like > Gnome Shell than the background.

The plan from the Desktop people is to have the Shell as a default (if it will be ready in time) and their intention is to use the upstream wallpaper as default to emphasize this. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
