AROS-Exec : "call for wall-papers"

Posted by craid-hjb on 2007/3/24 16:46:26 (5664 reads )

Due to a certain need for new Wanderer backgrounds, everyone is invited to the official:

"AROS: call for wall-papers"

The wallpapers should be placed in Aros-Exec gallery and should have a minimal size of 800x600, images in multiple resolutions would be best.

Since there is no resizing of wallpapers supported in Wanderer, the image content might be aligned to the upper left corner, so using a 1024x786 background image in a 800x600 resolution would not cut any logos or sensitive parts.

All images must be released under APL and must not contain any foreign copyrighted materials!

The competition deadline is May 31st, after which a poll will be starting to nominate the winning image. This will be set as the default desktop background in the nightly builds.

I mean, you are free to open up a bounty, as everyone does, but do we really need one for a single wallpaper image? I would just like to see some of the great Amiga artists over here, helping out their roots by contributing some nice images. Images might be put under GPL aswell although APL is preferred. Please post the links to your contributions over here!

I'm not commiting my wallpapers to aros-exec gallery due to PNG sizes in KB. My wallpapers heavily use gradients, and they get ruined by JPG compression. I'll put 'em on the Archives in four zip files, resolutions from 800x600 to 1600x1200. Here are my previews: My desktop wallpapers are distrbuted under APL, and the subject is "Road to 1.0". As you can see, there are 4 main colour themes I dedicated to the four seasons. Zip files containing my pictures will be available very soon.
