I havent voted for any wallpaper listed here. They all do look unprofessional and uncomfortable. They all are far far far away to look something really professional like the XP Standard Wallpaper. However Storm is quite OK but still to unprofessional looking. If you really want a photo *nature* wallpaper.
Then i would say that this one is much better than any listed above

Do we really need an official Wallpaper in times of everyone owning a digital camera? But maybe this is just because I also don`t use wallpapers.

Well after the voting is done, the selected wallpaper will be moved to svn and become the default when ROS starts?

Sincerly, i don't like nature images on my desktop.
I prefer artistic ones.

It would be great to ask to some "pro" designers (such as Ryan Bliss, Maik Prinz, Lennart Töråsen ...) to build some ROS-specific walls :shock:


Anyway check out (and update) Wallpapers on the wiki, thanks !

i would like flowers or drops. why can't we have all of them in .png format included on the ISO? (as long as they aren't too big, some programs can really overbloat PNGs)

You should be able to cut out all the bloat by recompressing PNGs with OptiPNG and PNGOUT (they work most effectively in that order). Both tools are PNG optimisers, which are designed to reduce the size of PNG files, without losing image data.

That said, there isn't really any point in converting JPEGs to PNGs, because it will almost certainly just increase their file size. You can usually save a bit on JPEG file sizes by losslessly converting them to progressive images, which you can do with jpegtran -progressive.

Would it be hard to add JPG or PNG support for the desktop backgrounds? It would save space on the CD if you didn't have to include huge, uncompressed BMPs.

It has been said in the IRC channel that implementing JPEG or PNG support would not be difficult. However, it's a low priority task. If you know how to write some C, now would be the time. ;)

Agree.
Does anyone have dirct link to full-sized Lake?
This one has a little higher resolution: http://www.reactos.se/wallpaper/DSCN2858.jpg

If you want, I can post one with higher resolution than the one above when I get home in a few days.

I know I'm a bit late but what about this shot of mine:

[ external image ]

It is a mixture between some the to favourites. (kinda)

It is without any processing, so it is way too dark etc...

The original has a resolution of 2500x.... pixels.
