version 16 create osgeo_menu image for the desktop

[astrid_emde]

we need a desktop background image for version 16. We asked the FOSS4G Kosovo team for input. Have a look at the following images

• 1
• 2

and make suggestions

[astrid_emde]

I like the idea to add the red lines and the FOSS4G logo. Maybe the logo is better placed in the right top region.

• I like version 2
• Logo also in red and maybe the ribbon could resolve in the red lines

hello from California -- I think that these sample images show exactly the history of Prizren; tall, proud symbols of tribal identity (mineret), isolated and lonely. These images are stuck in the past, not going to the future.

2) "tourist pictures" are fun for a few minutes, but are not useful for daily work.

To me, the promise of FOSS4G Prizren is "equal access to Science" not tribal declarations of the past. I would like to see images or designs that are good looking but not cultural.

Hello,

I would prefer to ask the FOSS4G 2023 team to help with the design.

We do not have to take the city view I it does not fit.

I would like to take a FOSS4G 2023 connected design for the image. They are working very good on a coorporate design.

But we could take the red-blue-design with the lines. Something like this see links (with ending in a white area from at the side - would make it possible to use it on different screen sizes)

If you do not mind I could discuss with Gresa or others from the team to get some designs. Also Besfort will join us tomorror for the meeting.

Hope you like the idea.

I like the sky and lines one. One thing, it is cutting the "G" of FOSS4G

this is an example of their ads being promoted elsewhere

Hello,

please have a look at the screenshot drafts

• 3.png screenshot of desktop with wallpaper 3 without opacity. Would need a white shadow behind the OSGeoLive logo
• 3_with_opacity.png screenshot of desktop with wallpaper 3 with opacity

An idea is to place the foss4g logo at the top left on the sky.

Please give feedback

[cvvergara]

I like with opacity.

[astrid_emde]

I would like to make the motion to take

​https://trac.osgeo.org/osgeolive/attachment/ticket/2419/3_with_opacity.png

as desktop image.

If you agree I could improve the image a bit and make a PR.

[kalxas]

+1 for 3_with_opacity for the beta stage only.

[cvvergara]

Please check build85 for the new desktop background

beta1

[astrid_emde]

maybe we set the desktop background to the blue of the sky at the left side instead of black.

• I picked this color from the sky #cfd2e4
