Actually, I wouldn't rule out literal takes on these subject matters. A monotone color scheme as such sends a message, too. One of uniformity, stableness, eventually even shyness, indecision and paranoia. Most likely not energy, movement, diversity ... I'm still learning, too. > Why only by-sa? doesnt cc-by work as well?

To not include other colors would be a problem. For wallpapers, I would even just define the colors given by panel and windows and require that wallpapers have to go well with them (icons might play a role in this considerations, too). -- Thorsten Wilms thorwil's design for free software: http://thorwil.wordpress.com/ -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
