Package: desktop-base Version: 4.0.0 Severity: important Hi,
I think this is a regression (at least for the GNOME desktop) which got noticed by several people now that should get addressed before etch: On Sat, Jan 20, 2007 at 12:05:18AM -0500, Matthew McGuire wrote: > I thought we reported this a couple months back, and that it was to be > resolved... but now that Desktop Base has migrated I decided to see if > it was still a problem. > > A screen shot from before upgrade: > http://www.shadowglade.net/images/BeforeScreenshot.png > > A screen shot from after upgrade: > http://www.shadowglade.net/images/AfterScreenshot.png > > No offense to the artist involved but that looks horrid.

This seems to have changed in commit #58 of debian-desktop: fboudra-guest 6 weeks ago "reduce size of debian-blueish-wallpaper.svg" It indeed reduced the size of the .svg greatly by a factor of 10, but it also changed the appearence, which I think should get addressed. Fathi, Are there issues besides the size with the old svg which needs to get addressed? If not, can either you or André maybe provide a smaller svg? If yes, and no quick fix via svg is possible, can we maybe revert to a png of the above good svg? thanks, Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
