Description: This is a color modification to Ubuntu Hardy's "heron-simple" wallpaper. It's designed to match my Clearlooks/Murrine/Nodoka/Compact-Colors sets of themes.
There are Brave (Blue), Human (Orange), Wise (Green), Wine (Red) and Dark versions.
Hi there..
I like your illustration on the wallpaper very much, but I want to give you a hint, as I read the color requests:
Convert this picture into an PNG file, greyscale at best, and with transparent color instead of the color you provide, white for example.
Save it with transparency: Now you have a wallpaper where every user can choose its own color variation by setting the "solid background" color to their favourite color - because gnome uses this color when he gets a wallpaper with transparency as its layer below! :)
I don't think it'd look right after that. I think the only fool-proof way would be to find the original non-colored .svg (I've found the original fela kuti ones, just not these).
Thanks!
I think, I'll use it now for a long time - because I often try out new color schemes and themes, I needed a nice wallpaper that would always fit - now it works :)
Yes, it would be much easier to change the colors.. I haven't found one, but maybe whoever designed the hardy wallpapers can release it if he hasn't already.

With this new version it's now possible to do that! :)

The link to the green one is broken :(
Thanks, fixed it.
would be awesome if someone could make this as svg, so everyone can choose the color he/she likes.
