Kubuntu Gutsy wallpaper discussion

[Martin Böhm]

Dear List,
the feature freeze is getting closer, so I spent a moment thinking
about non-development stuff a bit, namely the current Kubuntu Gutsy
wallpaper.

I think the pattern in it is not a bad one, but the colour used is not
really good for daily use. I think it's too bright. I would really go
for a darker shade of blue or another similar colour.

I'm not an art expert, so I think the best way to find out whether the
people will (dis)like the background is to ask them. So I'd like to
ask you:

What do you think about the current wallpaper?

I think it's really important to know your opinion to refine and
improve the artwork, because even though we're developers, when it
comes to art, we're mostly on the same level as the users.

Here is a link to the current Gutsy wallpaper (to refresh your memory) :

Thanks,

PS: Ken, I hope you won't be angry at me for this :o)
