We love fresh wallpapers :)

Posted on by

As usual we would like to see new wallpapers included in the next KDE SC release and we need your help.  So a new wallpaper contest is started!

If you want to participate you must keep to 3 fundamental rules:

  • you must be the author of the photograph, you must provide your full name and you have to state the license (lgpl v3 is better).
  • entries must be at least 1920×1200 resolution and a copy of the photo in RAW format (if available) is apprecitated.
  • you must send your photographs to davide.bettio@kdemail.net before the 13th of june with the word “WALLPAPER” in the subject

Your wallpapers will be evaluted by some of the KDE artists and the best wallpapers will be released with KDE SC 4.7.

git, wallpapers and kdeartworks

Posted on by

Moving artworks to git might be a bad idea: everytime you clone a git repository you are doing a copy of the whole repository including the history. For this reason if you plan to update frequently your artworks you should consider to keep your artworks on a svn server, so users are not forced to clone all the previous artworks.

For this reason  workspace wallpapers (kdebase/workspace/wallpapers) and kdeartwork will not be moved to git. So don’t forget to continue to checkout artworks from SVN!

  • You can get default base wallpapers from /trunk/KDE/kde-wallpapers/
  • You can get kdeartwork from /trunk/KDE/kdeartwork/
