Hi,
There is a student working on multi monitor wallpaper support for Nuancier.
That we provide at least dual monitor wallpaper, was more then once requested on us.
There are currently 24 different variations for resolutions, some might not be from interest. The problem is simple even when it are only two monitors, we have to produce a huge variety of different wallpapers. Its not just produce two wallpaper and leave the scaling to the DE. Let me give you an example. Right now I working on a laptop with an resolution of 1024x768 and a second monitor is attached with 1920x1200 and he is standing on the left side. So only one possibility means 2 pictures, if I change the position of the monitor to the right side it are already 4. Not speaking that some developer have often an attached monitor in portrait mode for reading documentation.
What it means for us as Design Team means, we have to decide if we want to provide dual or multi-monitor wallpaper for the default wallpaper and then produce just one picture large enough and the user can go to Nuancier and get the right resolutions by them self.
So for a dual setup we would have to provide a picture 5120x2560 that would cover, two monitors of 2560x2048 resolution and even would cover one in portrait mode. If we want to provide a triple monitor setup it would be 7680x2560
Q: just dual or do we want to provide triple also?
But there are more open questions, do we want to allow user contributions there or do we just to make as section where we produce some wallpapers for it? If we want to make user contributions possible then is the question, how to deal with it, I personally think the a release submission phase will not work for this kind of wallpaper. There might be only one or maybe two submissions in this way as you need stitched photographies. Leave as an always submission thing might be the better option but we would not have an mechanism we have with the election to ensure quality standards.
Q: opinions on that?
and there is one question more, for the normal supplemental wallpaper the Fedora logo is not allowed as they are packaged and could end up in a derivate of Fedora. But this is then just an online solution so do we want another rules setup for them or keep the one from supplemental wallpapers?
Hope to get some of you opinions on that things
