The requirements are the same as described here.
Extra backgrounds is a collection of non-default wallpapers contributed by the users.
As usual, here are the rules:
- All submissions should be original works, and carry a license equivalent to CC BY SA;
- Wallpapers could be photography, digital art, or art, falling in categories like Abstract, Monochrome, Animal life, Landscapes, Local culture;
- The submissions must not contain anything that can be offensive to others; so we suggest to not submit religious, sexual, violent materials, etc.;
- The pictures should not contain any recognizable people;
- Image size should preferably be around to 1920×1200px, the file size should not exceed 2 MB;
- A contributor may submit more than one wallpaper (up to 5).
Entries can be submitted by uploading the images to your favorite image hosting and providing the relevant links in comments here below. Or you can get in touch real time with OpenMandriva Team at #openmandriva:matrix.org in Matrix. Telegram is also bridged
The images will be uploaded to our Gallery, category Competitions (as soon as possible)
There is a bit of compression applied when uploading here, so the quality of the image is not quite the same (though it’s hard to tell the difference without looking at the original side by side). I can provide the full size images if needed, in case you guys are interested (a couple Mb won’t make that much of a difference when installing the wallpapers but it can make a difference on larger screens).
I couldn’t edit my previous post, but I just wanted to add another one that I found the other day in my old archive (really need to take some time to go through those old pictures)!
I uploaded my image, then downloaded it and compared the checksums. They are identical.
So I believe we can use this service (or another one of your personal preference)
If you want, you can post your SHA1 sum to be sure that the file is the same quality.
I had a little photo project going on, and here are two of my submissions for official OpenMandriva desktop wallpapers. I am still editing a few others, but I think these two had the best lighting, angle, colors etc.
BlackRock
medium: aquarium gravel
artist: Lee Talbert
My photo project had two parts. The rock photos above, intended to be used with Rock6.0, and the fabric photos here that I felt fit with the looseness of a rolling release. I am not happy with how the lighting turned out, but didn’t notice until I started editing. So here are the best looking ones.
denOM-light
medium: denim on muslin
artist: Lee Talbert
