Header Background

neomenlo's picture

It would be nice to have something to put in the background of the top of the page. Currently it is a dark navy blue to navy gradient. The current one works fine, but a fancier one would be a nice bit of eye candy.

I'm thinking of a shiny dark blue 3D wallpaper that would somehow embrace the logo. It would be nice if it was a pattern (repeatable without seams), but it could also be a very wide (1600px) background.

3D files are a must. It is the only way I will know that it was made for this purpose, not taken off a random wallpaper site. I also may need to be able to edit it. So, I would like the file to be in a .blend file, but it can also be any other file readable by Blender (.3ds, .dae, ...)

 

Ideas:

This one may be very closely linked to the new logo text. The text could be rendered in a 3D environment, allowing reflections, shadows, and ambient occlusion to make it look more real and coherent.

Done


During the transition to an orange wallpaper, I looked at my desktop and realized that the Ubuntu wallpaper would fit perfectly, and the license would allow it.

The new header is a slightly altered version of "warty-final-ubuntu.png"

It was modified so it would be patterned (repeatable) for those who have screens larger than 1600 by 1200, but looks fine on an 800 by 600. It also was modified a little to match the color scheme.

 

Its license is Creative Commons Attribution, Share-Alike.

Ubuntu is a great, free, user-friendly desktop Linux distribution by Canonical Ltd.

 

Any help will still be appreciated, since it could still be even better.
