It seems the file is too large to be attached,
but here's the link:
http://underwood94.deviantart.com/art/Linux-Mint-Wallpaper-141730224

So far only green 1280x900, let me know what you think!

Looks very nice as wallpaper on my laptop, the only thing i would like to change is the mint logo. I would prefer if it was less obtrusive and/or maybe embedded into the wallpaper?
apart from that, nice work!

Thanks for the feedback - yes, the logo does look a little awkward, I'll work on it.

Glad you liked it!

underwood94,
Thanks
I downloaded your revised Linux Mint wallpaper and it looks good on my 15.6" laptop screen.
May I suggest something?
Make the logo a little smaller and reposition it to the bottom right corner-I think that would be the finishing touch to a very nice wallpaper.

I like it. The new logo makes a huge difference to it. Actually... the more I look at it, the more I like it!
To add to the suggestion above, just for curiosity sake if you have the time... Could you post 2 different edits of it please.
First, keep the logo as transparent (very very nice!), only resize it so it fits into one of the squares.
Then if you could post with the positions 1. with the logo in the centre square (where the top left of the "m" is)
and 2. in the bottom right of the pic (again, fitting in the square, second row from the bottom).

I actually really like it how it is. Those are just two things I would like to see/do if I could.

Keep up the good work!

hi,
i like your walllpaper too: both of them.
(bout the logo thing: at least its your choice/taste, though i agree that it looks better if it is a bit more fuzzy too, like in the second wallpaper).
Its allways good finding nice wallpapers here and there...im not much of a wallpaper hunter, if i stumble over one per incident i just use it. This is one of those which do fit my taste :-)

respect, well done, give us some more if you like :D

First, thank you all for your comments :D

I found the suggestions very illuminating, so I made the necessary tweaks and they're
on [url]underwood94.deviantart.com[/url] now. I rather like the 'Corner Large'
one myself :)

For my next wallpaper I'm thinking of playing around with the logo a bit, like in the very nice
default wallpaper for Gloria. I'd be grateful for any suggestions!

Well done so far, brilliant work with the wallpaper.

Its not quite 100% to my taste, but as you can already see, many other people are already becoming fans of your work!

Keep it up! Look forward to some more in the future!
