In my experience any wallpaper must not have a tendency to hide icons on the
desktop, except of course for those users who do not set Nautilus (2 or 3) to
draw icons on the desktop. I have played with a great many wallpapers but
always go back to the old KDE3.5 "soft-green"(with my customized UI based on
Ubuntustudio, theme little changed since Hardy) The reason is this: It is easy
on the eyes, does not kill sleep afterwards at night with sky blue, and does
not hide icons. When I used actual forest photographs the icons disappeared
into the busy underbrush.
I looked at some of the other wallpapers in this thread and the "soft-blue" as
I call it with ubuntustudio logo looked like one that would work well for a lot
of people and fit the blue theme. One work on blue wallpapers: according to
sleep scientists, they are excellent for people working in the morning but will
delay sleep long after shutdown for us night folks, as light blue is the color
the eye uses to signal "daytime." That was why I stopped using blue wallpapers.
On the other hand, for folks in short winter days there may be nothing better.
