I’m loving the first 2 themes.

I don’t think in the history of art has a piece of work been universally agreed upon as being good or bad. So it’s a shame to see people dis artwork like this and then go off on a tangent that no one is interested in. My only advice to them is to….. change the theme to something you like, post a picture of it and talk about how great it looks to you; then go ….. (use your imagination)

it’s funny to read all these genius of art complaining: if these wallpaper suck why don’t you guys submit better ones?

Btw my Fedora 10 looks better than any windows system I used; plus is way faster and stable.

There is some fantastic digital art out there in the world wide wibble that sets the bar VERY high, so to call this ‘amazing’ begs me to ask…
Was this blog post some kind of joke?

The fact that linuxheads think these half-arse amateur artworks are amazing explains why linux is still ugly compared to well just about everything else.

Infact, a google image search reveals thousands wallpapers and themes with royalty free licences that look better than this trite.

They should actually try and entice some actual designer/artists to do some creative commons licenced art.

Personally I think Ubuntu and others are starting to look good, since they don’t try to be too wow, although 9/10 ubuntu users go get a real theme from some of the great stuff available. Mint, Mandriva are ghastly…

@Forester1:

Did you try the link that says “Source XCF”? More think, less complain.

Wow! That’s a really nice 450-pixel wide column you have there. It almost fills a third of my browser window.

I’m definitely with the steampunk theme. I like that it deviates from the traditional look of previous Fedora releases and is obviously rich with metaphor for objects and actions (although I’d prefer to see a steampunk icon set to finish it out, rather than the rather generic one slated to ship with F10).

I’m not sure that a theme needs to “say” anything about a distro… I’m hard pressed to think of any theme on any distro (or even OS) that says much at all about the underlying technology. I think the primary concerns should be attractiveness, consistency and originality.
