Or am I mistaken here? > KDE uses default artwork, just as Desktop (but they have different infrastructure for wallpapers than gnome does...). IIRC, e.g. the Education or Security Spins have customized wallpapers (created by the design team as well, though :D) as defaults. But it seems sane to suppose that "plain" spins (i.e. Desktop (Gnome), KDE, LXDE, XFCE and such) would use the default artwork... The spin owners who have customized wallpapers ask for a new one when they would like to change it. > > Anyway, I'm open to suggestions how to make the process better. > > Hey, it was not that bad, at least it has worked better than last year. > In F12 I had to do the update after beta freeze, so there definitely was > an improvement. ;) > Yeah, the process is improving on our side of things as well (and especially co-working with KDE SIG has been really smooth these past few releases). I don't recall of us ever having such great wallpaper done already for Alpha! Although, there seems to be lack of people commenting on it... Thanks, Martin
