Ubuntu does have a few Wallpapers that do this available at current for example the Gnome default stripes that has this ability is installed with gnome shell
the one major hiccup Ubuntu has with this style of wallpaper is in LightDM as it seems not be able to read this type of wallpaper and does not display it when a user with this type of wallpaper is selected. this issue is more than likely just a "paper cut" and may prove for some fun hacking :) -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~unity-design Post to : unity-design@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~unity-design More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
