Air Mint

[dlkreations]

When KDE 4.2 was released, the team issued a new wallpaper called Air, or something along those lines. This is my version of it. I know that there are a ton of Bokeh type wallpapers floating all over the internet, but I wanted to bring one more to the table.

This is a wallpaper pack of sorts. Included in this pack are 4 different wallpapers: 2 for wide screen (2560x1600) and 2 for standard screen (1600x1200).

Comments welcome.

I like your wallpaper It looks really nice !
I just have a sugestion for green wallpaper, well in my opinion, I have icons on the left and I think most of people does. I think the left side of the wallpaper is very bright, and because I have standard Shiki Mint icons, I can't read their names ! I think you can do is maybe just Filp Horizontaly your background image or decrese the brightness on the left side !

Just a sugestion, but otherwise your wallpaper looks great

Looking good!
I like the name too - a sibling to this!

[exploder]

My suggestion is the same as johonunu's. The wallpaper does look very nice though.

+1 from me too, Don.
Except, that I have my icons down the right hand side, so it is +2 from me.
Keep up the excellent work-rate guys. You know who you are.

This would be a great default wallpaper for Helena.

Just put it as my desktop.

Your wallpapers got brought up by several people on the official Linux Mint blog when talking about a new default desktop paper. People seem to really like it! If you would listen to the criticisms and flip the image so the brighter side is on the right, I think you'd greatly increase your chances of it being picked for Linux Mint 8 Helena.

Sorry, I've been away for a while, but I will get this fixed and issue a re-release.

I like this as well, should be the default in Helena for sure. I see another wallpaper that was based on Greek symbols and to me although it's unique I'm not sure that would be that good for a default theme (although it was never suggested that it would be by anyone) it's just my over all opinion.

Really like this one though, your all really doing a great job with the artwork here.

Maybe we should PM Clem as he may have not noticed about this thread. I really like this wallpaper and it would be great to see it as the default background in Helena

You might be on to something.

Whether this gets chosen or not, I am glad you all enjoy the wallpapers. I have redone them all for both wide and standard screens, also with the new KDE logo; darkened to be more appealing for those who prefer their icons on the left.

It was never about not listening to criticism, I take it very well. It was about being busy with other things mainly being my family and work. If it gets chosen, great. If it doesn't I'll live. I do it for the fun of it, and enjoying a very fine operating system and putting my love for it into creations I do.

Hi Don!

I put a link to this thread in the team members section where Clem will be sure to see it. I do not know what Clem's plans are but I think theses wallpapers more the style that is desired for the default. I love the KDE version!

Edit: It would be nice if we can get some more feedback from the community members. I would like to know what everyone thinks.

[kaixi]

@exploder: we could post it on the blog, for it seems that most people don't even bother to come join the forums.

Totally agree Boo, +1 vote from me.

It would be very nice as the default wallpaper. You could also make a logo-free variant

[Oscar799]

I just downloaded and tried the green widescreen option.
Thanks Don
Execellent work

[dlkreations]

Thank you everyone. I can take the logo off for those who would like to have a logo free one. I don't know when I can get to it, but I'll do it soon.
