I don't use the desktop for icons, it's just the background for apps. IMO any user should add a wallpaper her/him self. When doing artwork I often prefer a decent two colour gradient. For making music it shouldn't be loud too. At the moment I'm using the Edubuntu (perhaps Ubuntu) default for Maverick, I'll call it a tree in a ubuntu-coloured landscape. Btw. I'm tiered, it took the whole night to tidy up my HDDs and now I need to make some lightscribe art for the Natty install DVD. Or is there already something I could use? I guess I simply use the logo http://ubuntustudio.org/themes/ubuntustudio/logo.png and add the release version. If it should take longer than 5 minutes, I guess I'll drop off ;). I might just as well use a marker, but I like such details, perhaps a neurosis. :D -- Ubuntu-Studio-devel mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-devel
