You may have seen Gnokii’s call for Fedora 19 wallpaper submissions a few weeks ago. We are still accepting supplemental wallpapers, and have extended the deadline from March 31 to April 10th!
There’s a few guidelines you must follow in making your submissions – they have to be under a free license, they have to be at least a certain minimum resolution, and in a certain format, among other things. Gnokii’s blog post on submitting supplemental wallpapers covers these in detail. To submit, you simply upload your submission to the Fedora 19 Supplemental Wallpapers page on Fedora’s wiki. It’s that simple!
We’re really looking forward to see your submissions. 🙂
Hi Máirín! The wallpaper appearing in that picture, in the notebook, is a real wallpaper? It is the Fedora logo + the cat, but I loved it and would like to use it 🙂
Gnokii created it! I don’t know if he did a full size, I can ask him on Monday!
the background is the original Fedora 18 default wallpaper. The cat is available as svg on OCAL, its just a clipart from there which I recolored and improved a little bit.
Is there a package that contains all the official wallpapers from Fedora? Like the ones that are the default on the desktop? There should be, some of the older wallpapers were cool.
no, but the supplemental wallpapers are package with the release name, so you still can install older ones
Simple question:
If I use FedUP to upgrade to F19, will the new wallpaper(s) be part of my upgrade?
Yes.
Hi Máirín! I’m trying to submit a wallpaper, I’ve just signed up for a fedora account, but don’t know how to edit the wiki in order to submit my work, any help would be appreaciated.
Hi Jorge, if you send me or gnokii your wallpaper we can upload it for you and credit it to your wiki account. My email is duffy and gnokii’s is gnokii, both are @fedoraproject.org.
