Maybe you missed some details I laid out in previous emails.

Generally, I wouldn't ship a wallpaper with branding. Especially one
with it so central. Something subtle would possibly work.

The UI is set. Working toward using only AWN at the bottom, or it
doesn't work out, a single panel across the top copying our GNOME
layout.

I do still need to add some details to the wiki but between that and
emails I thought things were clearer.

I am open to the GTK theme ideas. Do you do any tinkering there Izo?

In terms of "over-arching" look and feel, the plymouth, LightDM and
wallpaper images are the things I'm looking to tie into the website
really.

I'm hoping for various revisions/ideas for the wallpaper. From that,
many ideas can come. For instance: We could use the same base image
for the LightDM and wallpaper, but the LightDM has branding and the
desktop does not. So it appears to fade away.

Based on this "etched" idea, I'll come up with some concepts. I'm off
for the next 4 days. ;) Izo: Can you send me the source for the
wallpaper?

How's 20:00GMT for that meeting on Sunday? Scott?
