Self made Fedora Background

[Shane L]

Hi guys, today I was bored and decided to celebrate how awesome Fedora is by making an awesome background for Fedora. The picture is 1440*900 and I did it in about 30 Minutes in GIMP. All of it is self made except for the Fedora Logo and Fedora text which I got from the logo in the wiki. Let me know what you think.

**For high res, please go to: http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...nic/Fedora.png **
EDIT: I still can't figure out how to get the true image size and quality to you so that's the best I can do for now.

Hey, aren't we supposed to decide if it's awesome, instead of you telling us it is?

It is nice, btw.

[Shane L]

Haha...I guess you're right. Thanks btw! I think it goes well with the Blue theme.

It looks more like water in the thumbnail than it does when I click to enlarge.

[Shane L]

Yeah, I guess it could be bubbles or even like a lava lamp.

I was originally looking for that background I saw on the alpha release photo (The man with the sword by the sea), but I think I'll use yours instead.
Thanks!

Thanks, I'm honored! If you wish, I could email you the full high resolution version. Let me know.
Thanks,
Shane.

Thanks!

If you want the background in the Alpha release,

# yum install constantine-backgrounds-extras

Nice, but too colourful for my taste.

I like it but my desktop is centered around colour neutrality, and green (I love green ), so I'll just take it in GIMP and change all the blue to different shades of green Good job

Very nice. I'm actually searching for new Fedora wallpapers as i'm reading this. I think i've found one to use for a while.

Also at one time wasn't there a place on the forums that had a lot of wallpapers and other Fedora art? I can't seem to find it anymore.

Check out the Deviant Art site:
http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/wallpaper/

There's no shortage of other sites. Here are a few:
http://hqwalls.blogspot.com/
http://www.widescreenstuff.com/
http://www.mandolux.com/
http://www.ewallpapers.eu/search_size/1440-x-900-wide (choose your resolution on the right-hand-side)

Plus, do a Google image search on "wallpapers XxY", but replace the capital X and Y with your monitor resolution (e.g. "wallpapers 1440x900"). You can find some good ones that way, too.

No-one need suffer bland wallpaper!

Thanks for the links. I found some good stuff on deviantart. I really like sporting a wallpaper that supports Fedora. I found a cool image of the solar wallpaper that said Fedora in the bottom middle. But it's really small and when I try to use it as a wallpaper it looks pretty rough.
