Ah, sorry, haven't seriously used reviewboard. Wasn't sure if the content in 
the request would be what actually goes into the repo. David very patiently 
explained everything I needed to know about this all, but my birdy little brain 
promptly forgot anything important and I don't think I've (properly) gotten as 
far as having a patch committed. Sorry - this is an area I'm trying to improve.

Generally when I talk about "professional" I'm talking less organic, wild, "in 
your face" wallpapers. 5.2 was just horrible neon mess, 5.3 looked cluttered, 
5.4 was regularly called an "acid trip", etc... I don't want to make things 
dull and lifeless, but after going down the current road I think a cleaner 
approach is worth a shot. Practically this means I want to be more conservative 
in the shapes and clutter department, rope in the organics a bit, and focus on 
clearly defined visually interesting layers.

---

Hopefully our users aren't exposed to enough visual corruption to feel that way 
:P 

But in all seriousness I will move the top-left of the "shadow polygon" away 
from the corner though (possibly hiding it off-screen entirely (in certian 
sizes it is cropped anyway), I do regularly work on a machine with AMD graphics 
w/ graphical bugs and I can understand the where you're coming from when I 
specifically look for it. 

Otherwise people who have seen this wallpaper haven't mentioned it looking 
glitchy, so general users may not be as sensitive to this. Consider that I 
personally don't see it as a big issue, as for some "glitchy" is even a 
desirable look. Before I remove/alter the circuit pattern I'd like to see 
another person or two weigh in and answer if I'm biased because I know what 
it's supposed to be, or if you are possibly biased from working on a system 
with visual corruption. Does anyone else think;
 - the pattern could be regularly/easily misidentified as visual corruption?
 - ... And would a wallpaper with that style be a problem?

I'll wait until we decide what to do with the pattern before loading another 
version (with the shadow polygon altered)


- Ken
