A good while ago Viper550 did some backgrounds that had some really good effects in it, and I want to draw attention to them again.
Look at this screenshot: http://www.skim.dk/viper550-ubuntu-shiny.png Original wallpaper: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/attachments/20051226/406f3bae/ubuntuglow-0001.jpg Notice how well the top light source goes with the gloss on the icons. More importantly look at the window title bar. The top light source of the bg makes it look like the light is actually reflecting in the window title bar. I really think that the default dapper background should utilize some of these techniques (if it's not going to be ubuntuglow?), since it makes for some pretty nice effects. Well just some idea-tossing, for whom it might concern :-) Cheers, Mikkel PS: The original discussion on the wallpaper can be found here: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-art/2005-December/000546.html -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
