Thank you, that is very exiting. :thumbup:

Since you don't write about the specifications I assume any background picture from the repo will work well as a template.

Do you have a deadline for us.? :smile:
I should have had some more specs. I forget most of you have never seen the alpha wallpaper (not attached).

As long as it is obvious it’s a beta wallpaper. I've kept the same alpha wallpaper for several generations and I like it because it’s butt-ugly and obvious it’s not going to be a default wallpaper at release.

The beta should look better than the alpha but I’m not looking for subtle. When we release for public testing I don’t want to deal with 100 comments about the wallpaper. It needs to be obvious it’s a temporary wallpaper.

the alpha and beta wallpapers will not remain in the art set for the mx23 release

I never log in on imgur, just click on new post, upload an image and click copy link.

To post the link with preview in the forum you can use this code, just replace the pUwGTKw code with your link.
To get a forum appropriate preview size image add a lower case L and .png at the end of the download link in the img link part.

Code: Select all

[url=https://imgur.com/pUwGTKw] [img]https://imgur.com/pUwGTKwl.png[/img][/url]
The above gives this

You can add a lower case m instead of the L if you want a smaller preview size.

or a lower case s if you want tiny

@dolphin_oracle Are you looking for a busy or a calm background?

Beta-Inspiration
Image

https://www.flickr.com/photos/154078448 ... datetaken/

A neuron that connects and emits light,
an image of a moment of flash inspiration.

I made it in 3D practice, but it was
put in storage. It's also a beta in a way.
(Added "β" text.)

I personally love prototypes.
Whether it's a car or a Gundam, prototypes are generally beautiful.
It's a pity that the finished products of cars and Gundam are worse than the prototypes.
I think the ideal finish is to leave the edge of the prototype.
In the world filled desire,
I seek only essence, serve for MX.
I just needing only ideal in the art at all.
I want to protect place of rest called MX LINUX. :coffee:

Very nice as a beta wallpaper. I particularly like the relative simplicity.

Yes, all your work is fine but in my opinion there is not enough excitement in it.

Would this be considered attempted bribery.?

Or will I be in school with my hair slicked back because I have violated an avatar copyright.?



Now it is almost too exiting. ;)


Edit: Yes, that was too exiting. I have taken the picture away and I am sorry. :embarrassed:
