Blogpost posted!

(Sogatori)
"The Wallpaper Contest!

We’re glad to announce that the contest has been a success with over 50 submitted wallpapers.
After the submission phase closed on June 6th, a jury of 3 (1 VDG member, 1 forum member and 1 plasma developer) selected their favourite wallpapers.
The submissions ranged from photographs to artwork. Those who want to take a look at all the submissions that didn’t make it into the finale can do so by looking at our deviantart group and this forum thread. It was no easy task to select the wallpapers for the finale, considering how many great submissions we received. We would like to take the chance again to thank everyone who has taken part in this contest. You are the people who make the KDE community what it is. It’s a pleasure to work with you all.

Now though it is time to move on to the next phase of the plan: The greater KDE community now has the chance to vote for their 3 favourite wallpapers out of the 15 nominees. The winning wallpapers will be shipped with the first release of Plasma Next. Additionally the creators of those 3 wallpapers will receive a copy of the book “Design Elements: A Graphic Style Manual” by Timothy Samara, an excellent introduction to the basics of the world of design.
You can vote here. Simply rate the individual wallpapers on a basis of 1 to 5 stars, where 1 star is the worst and 5 stars the best rating, and submit your ballot by clicking the “submit ballot” button at the bottom.
The vote will end 2 weeks after this blogpost has been published."


Here is the voting area!

Is my taste soooo much different from the rest? The current winners are my least favorite.

I think it is wise to have some variation in brightness and colors, so everyone can pick a wallpaper that fits their style. So one dark and one bright wallpaper would be better than 2 bright ones. Having 10 red wallpapers ain't gonna do the job either.

Can somebody tell me why the smiley is in the image? I think it is a wonderful wallpaper for those who want a techno/stylish wallpaper, but the smiley is imho totally out of place.

edit: Now I see it is called smile. I would like to have one without the smiley though. If not for packaged with KDE, then for my personal collection.

Madness. Madness is the only reason. ;D

Unfortunately the original vector file is lost or I would have obliged; I had a rather nasty hard drive failure and lost my projects from the past 3 years. :'(

EDIT: Thank your lucky stars I know how to use Kolourpaint too! http://kver.ca/nosmile.png

@Kver
Does that mean that you lost the white version of the bridge cursor theme? I've been waiting anxiously for any news of it. Your work is amazing.

Uhhhhmmm...

(frantically checks website)

Well, I have some very recent things. Turns out I *do* have the wallpaper (too late, Kolourpaint ftw), and I have an ancient version of the white cursor, but it'll be faster / more accurate to just convert the current dark breeze cursors in git to the white version when I get a free afternoon.
