Speaking about template graphic, it would be nice to simplify the
process with a front-end allowing to easily create the default wallpaper
using the existing scripts from the current maintained package. The
generator for that wallpaper inside the source was written in ruby and
can be used as a starting point.
In addition, it would be great to adapt Nuancier to automatically
generate files from supplemental wallpapers with their respective
authors and licenses for the incoming beta release.
As the majority of design team lacks experience of building a package
and got busy, a front-end to automatically create such wallpaper will be
welcome for future release. I will come with a mockup later.
