Perhaps this is more obvious: http://lazybrowndog.net/debian/wheezy/_wallpaper/journey-screenshot-gnome-preview-v3.png (new version) http://lazybrowndog.net/debian/wheezy/_wallpaper/journey-screenshot-gnome-preview-v1.png (original) The picture is now darker on the left side. The spacecraft is lighter, which reduces the contrast to the glow of the nebula. I am still convinced that the topic (space, stars) works great for the wallpaper. Many people use pictures like this one. Look at OS X with its beautiful Andromeda picture. And I think, the Orion nebula shouldn't look plain. We like it because it doesn't. But of course it is work in progress. :-) > Thank you for making this beautiful piece, and working to fit it for the > use case. Thanks for the feedback! regards Ulrich
