I'm advocating keeping some mostly because there are four possible aspect ratios for computer screens at the moment, depending on the age of the hardware (and Trinity is going to be used on some older hardware)--providing a few neutral tiling backgrounds is easier than covering off all possibilities. Plus, there may actually be people out there who *like* them, weird as it sounds. The selection of five (the ones in tdebase minus Chicken Songs) is probably sufficient overall, though--we don't have to keep the ones in tdeartwork too.
Ok, good point. Let's keep some tile background available. I will stick to your list for those.
The *text* on the konqui wallpaper says "Trinity", yes (I was the one who redid it). My concern is that Konqui himself--the little dragon critter--is *KDE*'s mascot. I'm surprised they don't have him trademarked (or do they? There seems to be a lot of conflicting information, none of it official) In other words, it's a subtle branding issue that we've been ignoring.
Being KDE available under GNU I think trademark is not a problem. Nevertheless indirectly you raised another good point. Since we are rebranding and restyling, it would make sense to also have a new mascot for TDE, instead of KDE's dragon. Would you and Alex be available to work something out in the spare time?
(E.) Sort of like a tiles view of the entire directory, maybe, instead of only previewing one at a time? (Alex) The actual preview is one at a time. I was talking about making a window similar to the provided screenshot. It makes it > much easier to choose a picture than with the file name. But in the future, not for R14.
Good suggestion and yes, definitely for after v14.0.0. I will open a bug report so we won't forget about it.
Cheers Michele
