Is it too much resources consuming to redraw the wallpaper ? On the other hand, those tiny-ultra-mini-extra-small-portable are not racing horses, and they are more (at least to me) some kind of super electronic note-books (I'm speaking about a real paper note-book, not about a laptop). So maybe they don't need the animated wallpaper and a static version could be provided. Maybe the best track would be to split the package. This would take the same space on the media as all wallpapers should be included if we don't want soemone to have a plain blue background, but at least, yum installs / updates would not download the whole big almighty package... ---------- Mathieu Bridon (bochecha) French Fedora Ambassador ---------- "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
