Hey there,

there was a bit of bustle today because of the background image.
The current one is to bright, which doesn't work well with a light taskbar and 
also with the white font.

The idea now, is to replace the background with the blue pattern AlexN used 
for the plymouth and gfxboot theme. This one:

This for, we get a uniformed look form the installer, over boot process, to 
the desktop.

Are there any complains about it or (better) ideas?


Furthermore, I've created an extra wallpaper, which matchs the theme of our 
website:

or, a bit darker (my favorite):

In action it looks like this:

Regards,

P.S.: In the future we must also have a closer look to the other DEs (GNOME, 
LXDE, XFCE, ...), which has been nearly forgotten so far.
