My new Ubuntu Linux Wallpaper

[Olozhika]

Dear forum members, I have created a new wallpaper design based upon the Vista Ultimate wallpaper, I don't think this infringes any copyrights, but if it does please delete this thread.

Here it is:

Please let me know what you think.

looks pretty cool to me. my only comment is that the left side doesnt have much going on and is totally black as far as i can tell. Why dont you try to stretch the part on the right out a bit more so that it is more even

[FALSEFLAG]

I mostly like it but the skewing on the word Linux sortof conflicts w/ the static placement of the Ubuntu logo, maybe rotate Ubuntu logo slightly and add some motion trails to it.

That's nice... great job, can you make a blue one? Cause I got a blueish theme on my ubuntu, and your wallpaper would look great in it...

[ShodanjoDM]

Install Ubuntu font for the logo:

sudo aptitude install ttf-ubuntu-title

Personally, I prefer a version with slightly lighter black area (replaced with some deep dark brownish textures) without logo. But that's just me :)

[kostkon]

It's nice, but, indeed, you could use the Ubuntu font for the text.

[Olozhika]

Thank you, I will take on board all of the comments here and hopefully make a decent wallpaper. I am not professional artist by the way, this is just one of my hobbies.

BTW, I agree about the Ubuntu font, changing that is one of the first things I will do.

@ americano70e10, I can have a go at a blue one, do you want the logo in blue too?

If it is possible, I would much apreciate it...

[Olozhika]

Ok, I have taken on board the feedback and have come up with four wallpapers. two have logos and the other two dont.
Here they are:

@ tamoneya, I agree that there is not much going on on the left side, but that was sort of intentional, I thought I would create something different because the default wallpaper in ubuntu 7.10 already fills the screen.

Thanks,
Olozhika

Try making the Ubuntu on the first one as big as the logo, and on the third one do the same and add a "k" because technically it is Kubuntu's logo.

best brown wallpaper I have seen

Please let me know what you think.

Looks pretty sweet! :)

[Olozhika]

Just wanted to let you all know, I have only tested these at a resolution of 1280x1024, if possible let me know if they display well at other resolutions.

[Pieboy337]

I just tried it at 1440x900, looks pretty good, but kinda pixilated at this resolution. Great wallpaper though.

Well here you go, a widescreen edition :)

I don't think Microsoft will start crying just because you modified their wallpaper. But I saved it to my computer to be on the safer side ;)

Yeah, I know, but I like to err on the safe side.

[VraiChevalier]

Very, very nice! Well done!

I've always liked Ubuntu's brown theme.=D>

[americano70e10]

That came out really nice...
Great job!!!!
Thanks for the blue one....

[Pieboy337]

Looks great with the widescreen version. My new background :) Great job.

[Crafty Kisses]

The blue ones go really good with Slickness I just realized.

[johnjust]

I humbly request a 1680x1050 version so I can decorate my dual monitors.

Thanks!

[Shazzner]

You don't think you can make a 1024x600 for my netbook? Please :)

[SphereCat1]

This is really nice looking! I'm clicking the download button as soon as I finish typing this message.

Any chance you would like to help me theme a window manager I'm writing? No hurry, I've barely started, but if you're interested you can find the thread at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=866390. :)

[birlindo]

great job thanks for this nice wall papers

[Kevbert]

Thanks Olozhika. Maybe you should design a new one for Intrepid Ibex.

[Crafty Kisses]

Looks pretty solid, a little lighter would be nice though.

[masoud77]

Thanks a lot for the wallpapers. They look gr8. I am a fan of blue.

[Guahos]

wow, really pretty-looking, i like it:razz:

[blueamcat]

Looks great! I'm using the plain blue at work on my M$ machine. hehe

Indeed.

Any chance you could make one for Xubuntu? Or maybe one in green, for those Fluxbuntu folk?

[seancarlgrech]

Any chance of having this one (the kubuntu one) in 1400x900 please? :KS

[Raut]

its a awesome wallpaper , looks amazing on widescreen.

[dale456654]

I like these but it looks like you have scribbled something out under the Kubuntu logo...

[steph18]

Reminds me vista's blue wallpaper.. No offense

[Olozhika]

Sorry for the long delay but after I posted these wallpapers here I moved on and forgot about it. Many months later I come back and find all these positive comments. I wish to extend my thanks to all who have commented here and to all those that have used these images.

Now onto more important stuff, I have received numerous requests for this in different sizes, colors & targeted at other distributions. I can't guarantee that I can meet all of these but I will try...

[NJ0E]

sx66gns,

Thanks

[eju]

thanks, all are fine, i use them in my bg

[H.K.Murmu]

Very fantastic.

[Fzang]

No necromancy please..

[ratdude747]

the plain blue one is cool... i use ubuntu (no k) but the blue contrasts the orange well. my monitor is 1280x1024... might resize for my netbook.

edit- netbook resize:

Personally, I like it with most of the visual activity to the right. I keep whatever icons I have on the left so leaving that space uncluttered makes it easy to see them.
