I just don't understand the rationale. Fedora is a rocket ship flying
through space?


Rocket  lift-off  speeding through barriers  final frontier 
bleeding edge of technology ?

In conjunction with the rocket, I feel it would have a bit more
emphasis on the imagery that's not directly linked to the metaphor. If
the scenery is done well enough I think it is passable.

However, I don't think the planet idea was made with a metaphor in
mind but we might be wrong. Mola, was this the case?

even if you make it without a metaphor in mind, folks when they look at 
it will try to come up with a meaning.


there's totally a place for eye candy but i'm just not feeling it. just 
my opinion tho.

  hi :)
  

mola,

The number of comments on your Planet Fedora wallpaper is a testimony
to your talent and the quality of your artwork.

I am very impressed and would like to see this grow.

Questions

1. Is your desire to expand this into a theme? 

2. If so, do you need assistance in the development of some other
images? 

3. Do you need help with the theme wiki page?

If this is to be a theme I would suggest the theme title be expanded to
something like the universe of fedora as IMHO this would allow
additional space images.

In my mind fedora planet renders to images of earthy landscapes and
things.

Either way thank you for your contribution.

Cheers,

John

3) I love the spacedust effect, it looks very cool. How would this 
look with just the space dust applied to a lighter flat background or 
gradient (try #3c6eb4 or #294172). I think it would make a great 
background without the planet or logo, or at least a simple logo 
tucked in the corner.


I also like the spacedust effect (and find it somewhat related to your 
Borealis) but hate the planet and its rings.


Hey Mola, is there any way you could export the space dust effect? I 
could try adding it to some of the Borealis mocks to see how it looks, I 
think Nicu might be onto something.
