Haiku looks *GREAT* with nice wallpapers. While I think the consensus
is the plain Haiku logo wallpaper (as usual), I do think it would be nice
to include a few nice wallpapers as additional choice in a hpkg.
Greetings Alexander, hi everyone,
speaking of wallpapers, I’m just taking this opportunity to ask about
something that has bugged me for some time: unless I’m mistaken, the
default wallpaper image is the "white on blue" png logo -- without any
alpha channel; so whenever the user changes their desktop color, then
the Haiku logo stands out instead of blending nicely with the new
color. Couldn’t we use the "white on transparent" by default instead?
(if that’s already what’s used, please disregard my message :-)

FWIW, I remember being stunned by this "Haiku" wallpaper a dozen years
ago and never wanting any other one ever since:

At the exact same time, this other wallpaper was included with the
then-new KDE4 release, and for some reason each one of these two
images made me think of the other:

Cheers,
