Hello guys
Ylee been working hard on BL 7 ISO preparation, while I am adding some Moksha, Extra modules fixes and themes patches. With new release we plan to stay with ArcGreen theme but maybe this time we can ask you for original theme wallpaper. It would be great to have something related to distro philosophy and theme feeling. You can add Bodhi logo or Bodhi name. Eventually I can make some animation there. In the end we can vote for the best wallpaper and we will use it in the release. Other pictures can be add as packages in our repo if they are good enough. I recommend 4K resolution.
Stefan

I am unsure if anyone is going to take this challenge. But first a few things to note: - All images have to be usable by us this means some kind of copy-left license.
- If you post and do not state a license. If it is not derivative I will assume it is some form of Creative Commons. Probably CC BY 4.0 will be assumed.
- The work can be derivative, but only if the original work has a KNOWN license and that license allows such alterations and distribution by us.
- You can submit an existing image altered or unaltered ONLY if it is properly licensed.
- These first four mean DO NOT USE images you do NOT have the (legal) right to use and share here. I want to avoid any legal complications.
- I prefer large resolution png images but if you use an app such as GIMP, Inkscape, Blender, or whatnot to create the image we may ask for the original file. (For Gimp the xcf file). Use layers whenever possible if it is a complex image.
- We reserve the right to package and distribute (or not) any image submitted. Whether or not we use the image as the default background in our upcoming release.
- We reserve the right to alter the image such as by adding animation or Bodhi Branding.
- Our theme has two images, a splash image that shows briefly as Moksha loads and the final wallpaper image. So you may consider submitting two images and note which is the splash.
- Naturally you will be given full credit for any image you submit which we use. Your name and email will appear in the packages copyright file if we package the image. If you do not wish either your real name and or your email to be 'public', we will respect that and use your forum or Discord user name.
- Images can be simple, complex, photographs, scanned drawings or paintings, computer generated and even generated by an AI. Again as long as it all meets our licensing requirements.
- It should go without saying but no post that some may regard as offensive or overly sexual.
For inspiration I suggest looking as some of the known Bodhi Backgrounds or Wallpapers found in other distros or on wallpaper sites.

No artist on the forums?  Such a shame...

Hello
Sorry for my long absence...
I'm not exactly an artist (I'm just a photographer) but I want to contribue to this project. The day I read Stefan's post I immediately created 2 photos. I want to share with you the second one (which I'm going to use on the new BL when it'll be available). I think it's a powerfull image with great sense of space; it's serene and energetic/agitated in the same time. It's just like our lives. The image has minimal processing (is only cropped for resolution and exchanged blue channel with green). The cool thing is that this image would be perfect to add Moksha logo (on enlightenment) as the bird flying on the sun (or just the e "sun"). You are free to use it (or ignore it):
THe 4K image is 1.1 MB so I can't attach it to this post..
