First of all it actually is 12.10 wallpaper rotate on 180 degree. Seriously. It is wrong in 12.10 as well and it is not due to grainy effect. Grainy effect actually supposed to hide color banding and it is not supposed to break image into small squares. That's actually happens when you over-compress image with grainy effect which is clearly bad idea. Grainy images doesn't compress well at all — grainy effect will be heavily damaged... like here. Is there source image without compression?
It actually very pointless to compress it at all. Image will be unpacked in the memory anyway. Why not to use loseless PNG instead of JPEG? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1081702 Title: Update the default wallpaper in 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/1081702/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
