Orange wallpaper - what do you think?

**CAD-MAN** · October 15th, 2007

I've been experimenting with a wallpaper after reading a thread on the new look for Ubuntu that will be implemented in Hardy Heron (Link to thread).

I also plan on making my first theme to go with this wallpaper, and will probably upload it as a complete package on gnome-look.org

So, basically, what do you think?! I've uploaded two versions, a 1280x1024, and a 1440x900 for widescreens.

and the 1440:

EDIT (Nov 5th): Uploaded the initial release of my theme here.

It is a little busy for me, but i like it better than the old brown.

It looks really nice. Depending on what direction they go with the theme, this might be a really good match for Hardy Heron.

I really like that & that's surprising, as I thought I'd never got over the loss of brown planned for hardy.

Thanks for all of the comments!

I should have an update soon, which I'll post here.

I'll also be looking at starting my first theme very soon too, which I'll probably post on gnome-look (if its successful!) as a complete package with the final version of this wallpaper.

I said I'd start an orangey theme - and so I have! I've only got the metacity part done at the moment, and small parts of the gtk theme.

Here is a screenshot (I'll put it up for download when its more finished if anybody wants it):
