Yes, it can be embeded. And frankly, unless you have some awesome textures, they aren't going to scale well to extremely large monitors or wide screens IMO. SVG's deal with wide screens far better, because they will be full resolution irregardless.<br>

I also feel that this could be implemented with relatively low overhead just be editing the xml of th SVG or changing backround every X seconds. But that would be a far less interesting implementation.<br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">

Hello everyone.<br> <br> Really nice work Dana. I think we are making progress now :) So let this<br> be our FIRST GOAL:<br> <br> 1. We have to make an automatically changing desktop with natural<br> elements in mind (I think that the first link mostly represents this<br>
idea). Propositions should be in .png file format and be available at<br> the highest reasonable resolution. The author must keep a copy of his<br> work in his computer. So that when requested for packaging it should be<br>
available.<br> <br> I need to know if all of you agree on this first goal because if there<br> is one that don't we should discuss it again. I think we can integrate<br> weather forecast and geo-location data usage as well (proposed by Dana).<br>
I wish I knew more about gnome-programming to do this myself :(<br> <br> After we create acceptable "live" background we should go and pursue our<br> SECOND GOAL:<br> <br> 2. Create aesthetically pleasing and eye-easy theme that clearly<br>
represents the Ubuntu spirit.<br> <br> Not perfect example for 2:<br> <a href="http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/Orange-door-hinge-80402700" target="_blank">http://lassekongo83.deviantart.com/art/Orange-door-hinge-80402700</a><br>
<br> <br> <br> Any further discussions and and recommendations are always welcome :)<br> <br> Anton<br> <br> В 07:46 -0700 на 28.04.2008 (пн), Dana Goyette написа:<br> <div><div></div><div>> Anton Kerezov wrote:<br> > > Hi Seth<br>
