I am really fond of the default mint 14 background for MATE. I haven't seen the others yet, but was hoping to see a darker version with glowy letters, etc. Can this be done?
thanks

here's what I had in mind:

I am not good enough to do it properly, this is a simple invert in gimp

can someone do this in green instead of purple?
thanks
'/

actually, if someone could do the purple in gold instead, that would be really great

has anyone used this image for desktop background?
i am loving it
easy on the eyes and the purple is nice, too
i wonder what 'flavor' of mint purple is?
'/

well, not one reply, so I guess I will just have to cross my fingers and hope someone eventually puts out a version of this wallpaper that is dark, officially

till then, im using the purple image ... hmm, the kde inverted might be nice

I'm kinda waiting on KDE 4.10 when there is supposed to be easier animated wallpaper creation. Static wallpaper, eh, kinda gettin old.

KDE - now aren't they just the best for innovation when it comes to finding ways to use up your ram and CPU cycles for a desktop?

I was wondering ,Is Gimp used for creating backgrounds ? If so ,you might experiment with different colours and layers ,etc.
I have never tried to create a background .

@jamvaru, for requesting one in green instead of purple.

I don't really know what I am doing but poked at it a bit in GIMP....

wow, those are both fantastic; did you say the second one is derived from the first or the original or default?
