I really don't know what to say except thank you.
This is a perfect desktop image and it looks great.

Nice wallpaper. Just a question, where did you get the Novell Icon theme from? Is it in Debian ... i have been looking for it for quiet a while but haven't found it anywhere. Cheers

I think it is great, partially because it is debian , but mostly because it is simple and transparent. I have many great images that i like to use as wallpapers , mars rover captures, nature shots, hot girls, etc. but don't because i like to show some Linux pride. Ive been looking for a clean logo I could easily overlay on other wallpapers. I hope others will make similar "wallpapers" or should i say watermarks. Ive sent messages to other artists asking them to release fancy gnome logos with shadows and such that they used in there images as standalone transparent images but haven't gotten any response. Maybe this could spark something new, many people are posting unbranded images great but not very "gnome-look" this is needed.

While the scan lines do look cool on a plain gradient or some simpler images over more complex pictures it becomes a little busy, a version without them would be highly appreciated. I don't know if it helps file size at all but it doesn't even have to be the whole 1600x1200, just enough to get the logo in. Thanks for the great work. It is going to be used in combination with other images for a long time to come.
