I think that Fela Kuti is a very nice Wallpaper Login. I think that it can be extended like Wallpaper Desktop default and the same color scheme can be used to make all artwork. It is not a huge work because can be used the Human Theme but changing the color scheme. gp -- ubuntu-art mailing

I also love the Fela Kuti Wallpaper, but I think we can get a better result with translucent backgroud (see remixes) because you don't get limited to one background colour and you can fit it with your favourite theme colors. See Remixes at Fela Kuti Alternate, I also post a SVG as example.

I really like the Fela Kuti wallpaper. I think it would be wonderful for Hardy, especially if it were also integrated with the GDM and splash. Additionally, it would help bring in the black colors (I haven't seen much black yet) for the proposed orange and black color scheme. Jonathan On Feb 4,

I like the style of the autumn one. It is inspiring, starting one's day with ideas. A great way for one's Ubuntu experience - possibly his first big step into open software - to begin! It is also gender neutral; as somebody mentioned in the Ubuntu forums, the abstract shapes seem to be kind of a

I think the 2D icons for the 'system tray' is an excellent idea because currently the top panel in Ubuntu is a befuddling array of icons with no clear sense of hierarchy. For a new user there's no strong sense of difference between the 'start' icon, the firefox icon, and system tray icons, so
