version 17 create osgeo_menu image for the desktop

[astrid_emde]

we need a desktop background image for version 17. We asked the FOSS4G Bèlem team for input. They have send some maps that we could use.

First two suggestions. More will follow -1. -2.

Hi all, please have a look and give feedback.

moin Astrid,

wrt. to desktop icon visibility/readability a dark map is better. we could add some dark translucency on the left side where icons reside to mitigate that. from you suggestions desktop_1 looks darkest.

additionally i'd add some outline to the OSGeoLive Logo also to make sure it is clearly visible even if the color behind matches it to closely.

i can do the steps above if you provide the source images if you want to.

I like both 5 and 6. 5 has the FOSS4G full logo but the OSGeoLive logo is too high I would prefer 6 for the desktop

Any other opinions/preferences?

like osgeo-desktop_6 as well. just a few notes

1. i seem to remember that we need a specific size/aspect-ratio for the default background
2. osgeo-desktop_6 needs some fixing of the borders (s.b.) there are black leftover areas
3. the bottom ornamental band can be extended a bit neatly, there seems to be some leftover black content behind it as well (s.b.)

Hello,

thanks a lot for the feedback.

I like number 6 too.

More feedback from the @osgeolive team members?

If we take number 6 as final I can work on the final image.

1. what is the size/aspect-ratio for the default background
2. fix border -> yes
3. ornament fixes / foss4g logo move upwards
4. thanks for the suggestions in the notes images - all good

I wrote a mail to the FOSS4G team waiting for their go. And then I ca nwork on the final image.
