Wiki - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwitchToJXLforDefaultWallpaper Discussion thread - https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/f43-change-proposal-disabling-support-of-building-openssl-engines-system-wide/145922 This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux. This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee. == Summary == The default Fedora wallpaper will switch from PNG to JXL format. == Owner == * Name: [[User:luya| Luya Tshimbalanga]] * Email: luya@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx == Detailed Description == For a long time, the default Fedora wallpaper used PNG format to preserve the integrity of the design. The drawback is the large file size for packaging and for the time of day animation. The Design team switched to JXL to address the issue drastically saving the size of the media while maintaining the quality of the wallpapers. == Feedback == == Benefit to Fedora == * The size of the default wallpaper is drastically reduced when using JXL format compared to PNG. An example is on this [Fedora 42 Default Wallpaper ticket](https://gitlab.com/fedora/design/team/release-artwork/default-wallpaper/-/issues/21#note_2306684940) showing both versions for comparison. == Scope == * Proposal owners: The Design team switch the format from PNG to JXL format for the default wallpaper on Fedora Workstation and Spin variants (optional for spins setting a different default backgrounds).<!-- What work do the feature owners have to accomplish to complete the feature in time for release? Is it a large change affecting many parts of the distribution or is it a very isolated change? What are those changes?--> * Other developers: * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issues #Releng issue number] * Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change) * Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: == Upgrade/compatibility impact == No major impact for desktop environment supporting JXL format. If needed, convert JXL to JPEG as fallback. == Early Testing (Optional) == == How To Test == * Up to date Fedora Linux 41 Workstation and variants (spins included). * Enable [COPR repository](https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/design-suite/fxx-backgrounds/) from ''@design-suite/fxx-backgrounds'' or download from the [main repository](https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=2658799) * For Workstation Edition and variants like Cinammon spin and Design Suite, install both ''f42-backgrounds-base'' and ''f42-background-gnome'' using the command <nowiki>sudo dnf install f42-backgrounds-{base,gnome}</nowiki>. * For KDE Edition and variants, install both ''f42-backgrounds-base'' and ''f42-background-kde'' using the command <nowiki>sudo dnf install f42-backgrounds-{base,kde}</nowiki> * For XFCE and variants, install both ''f42-backgrounds-base'' and ''f42-background-xfce'' using the command <nowiki>sudo dnf install f42-backgrounds-{base,xfce}</nowiki> * For Budgie Edition, install both ''f42-backgrounds-base'' and ''f42-background-budgie'' using the command <nowiki>sudo dnf install f42-backgrounds-{base,budgie}</nowiki> * For MATE and variants like Design Suite, install both ''f42-backgrounds-base'' and ''f42-background-mate'' using the command <nowiki>sudo dnf install f42-backgrounds-{base,mate}</nowiki> == User Experience == The change is invisible for the uses with lower footprint. == Dependencies == == Contingency Plan == Revert to PNG format. * Contingency mechanism: (What to do? Who will do it?) N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Contingency deadline: N/A (not a System Wide Change) * Blocks release? N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Documentation == N/A (not a System Wide Change) == Release Notes == -- Aoife Moloney Fedora Operations Architect Fedora Project Matrix: @amoloney:fedora.im IRC: amoloney -- _______________________________________________ devel-announce mailing list -- devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-announce-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel-announce@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
