===Guidelines===

A good wallpaper that we will accept for consideration as the default background or a wallpaper packaged in the new release of Mageia '''must''' adhere to the following:
 +
:* Any and all work you submit will come under the [http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0 CC By-SA] license and must incorporate only imagery that is under the same (that means that you can't use images that are covered by a more restrictive license).
 +
:* Icons and text on the desktop must be easily visible.
 +
:* The image must contain the full Mageia logo (text plus cauldron).
 +
:* We are looking for something simple, so don't overdo it.
 +
::* Remember: this is a background to a workspace, which means that it shouldn't attract more attention than the workspace itself.
 +
:* The image need not be a custom-drawn image. Photographs are perfectly acceptable, while they adhere to the above.
 +
:* The wallpaper need not adhere to the official color palette, but it would be nice.

There will probably be some sort of contest or community-wide vote to pick 2 or 3 wallpapers that will be packaged with the next release of Mageia. At the moment the details of the contest are still unclear, but rest assured, as soon as we iron them out they will appear here.

This page will provide some guidelines on how to create a good wallpaper for Mageia, and maybe even get it chosen as the default wallpaper for Mageia 2!
Here you can see the current wallpaper pool where you can view images and comment on them, as well as submit your own.

Guidelines

A good wallpaper that we will accept for consideration as the default background or a wallpaper packaged in the new release of Mageia must adhere to the following:

  • Any and all work you submit will come under the CC By-SA license and must incorporate only imagery that is under the same (that means that you can't use images that are covered by a more restrictive license).
  • Icons and text on the desktop must be easily visible.
  • The image must contain the full Mageia logo (text plus cauldron).
  • We are looking for something simple, so don't overdo it.
  • Remember: this is a background to a workspace, which means that it shouldn't attract more attention than the workspace itself.
  • The image need not be a custom-drawn image. Photographs are perfectly acceptable, while they adhere to the above.
  • The wallpaper need not adhere to the official color palette, but it would be nice.

Contest

There will probably be some sort of contest or community-wide vote to pick 2 or 3 wallpapers that will be packaged with the next release of Mageia. At the moment the details of the contest are still unclear, but rest assured, as soon as we iron them out they will appear here.
