- Original Message From: Máirín Duffy mai...@linuxgrrl.com I *think* we're going to be okay. I'll know by Monday whether or not we might have an issue. I am going to cram this weekend and try to iterate on what we've got. Okay I am a bit worried at this point. I had no time at all this weekend to work on it, and I need to travel next weekend. ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list
Re: Background
Hi Paul, - Original Message From: Paul W. Frields sticks...@gmail.com I was looking at the F11 Artwork page on the wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F11_Artwork ...and wondering about (1) the group's progress in converging on a background, and (2) what needs to happen, and when, for the background to land in the F11 Beta. The F11 Beta freeze arrives on March 10th, and it would be good to have a background ready somewhat before that so there's time to tweak it before the freeze. As I understand it, once the desktop background is decided, that will form the basis for the other theme pieces for the Preview Release. I *think* we're going to be okay. I'll know by Monday whether or not we might have an issue. I am going to cram this weekend and try to iterate on what we've got. If anyone's with me, pop in #fedora-art this weekend :) ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

I do think it's a bit late in the cycle to add this in, but this will save us a LOT of work for F11.

So it makes image the closest aspect to the desired one by cropping first, and then resizes to the desired resolution. So for the 1024x768 desktop it would crop to 1600x1200 (4:3) then scale to 1024x768. ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

Would you mind closing the one I opened as a dupe? The patch first crops the image to the specified size and then after app the zoom/stretch functions behave just as before. So it makes image the closest aspect to the desired one by cropping first, and then resizes to the desired resolution. So for the 1024x768 desktop it would crop to 1600x1200 (4:3) then scale to 1024x768. I think you should be resizing first, then cropping. It doesn't sound like that process is going to result in the objects in the image being the right size? Have you tried it out on the solar images? ~m ___ Fedora-art-list mailing list Fedora-art-list@redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-art-list

We did and Martin and I have plans to clean up the background packages so the default one is much smaller and there is a larger extras package.

Re: Background idea
If you're talking about backgrounds like Max OS's or F8's or SuSE's then I'm with you, this kind of background suits most people!
