Is that agreed? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Specs/0008_Lubuntu_Natty_Wallpaper First, please note that I'm not a designer or an artistic people :) About the pallet, do you check with Canonical if others colors are acceptable for a derivated of Ubuntu ? Last time we check, the pallet was limited, and we had to stay with this one (which IMO, is nice). You need also to consider that, if people propose a very different color for the wallpaper, we will not accept it, unless they propose an entire theme which match this submission. So, no need to spend time in submissions we will reject for sure. About the spec : - Introduction We have specific targets for our users, see our wiki page : "Lubuntu is targeted at "normal" PC and laptop users running on low-spec hardware. Such users may not know how to use command line tools, and in most cases they just don't have enough resources for all the bells and whistles of the "full-featured" mainstream distributions." - Inspiration: Well, our strategy for artwork is more "practical" : * We want a nice artwork ... * ... with no big requirement * ... which render good and fast - Schedule : Our final schedule for the artwork : March 17th : End of proposal for artwork March 22nd : Decision for Artwork Please note that is for all the artwork. There will be no step before this (not a first step for the wallpaper, and another for the remaining parts). I hope the answer is complete enough, sorry if it's quite late in the process, I was busy recently.
