This is the new version with proper (smaller) resolution of one wallpaper, the package has only about 14MB now.

If it is possible it would be wonderfull - to satisfy the requirements of the Ubuntu guideline for wallpapers - to keep the quality of the wallpapers (not to change the JPEG compression ratio).

All wallpapers are in 2560x1600 resolution now.

The new default wallpaper should be coming soon & we will upload for both at the same time.

Can you increase the quality of the default purple wallpaper, or have it as png? Those jpeg compression marks are ruining it.

Now with less compression and more MBs.

Apparently there's some kind of tweaked version coming anyway, so there will be a new release then.

Alex,

I can see some compression artifacts in the PNG-8 image - look at the bottom right and you'll see some banding. However, the PNG-24 one is a bit large for us to install by default. Do you know if you could make it smaller somehow? About 3MiB, no larger than 3.5, would be great for us.

thanks!

Hi, may I ask you why the 4,7 MB is too high? :) It is for the first wallpaper, first graphic thing user will see, I do not think we can enter into a compromise here... it is about 5 MB, other community wallpapers can have about 35MB in their best JPEG quality, so result can be 40MB at the most, how can this be too much in a world where CD limitations doesn't exist and every almost every successful operating system has MUCH more than about 700MB? :)

xnox, that's fine (could upload that as an interim - in fact, you feel free to do that if you want), but they want #14 as the final design

The one in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-wallpapers/+bug/1429011/comments/14 is the best, however it lacks symmetry:

i overlayed 10x cross at the centre of the image, and you can see that nothing lines up.

E.g. the centre straight fold is ~89px "too high", the first left diagonal is a few pixels "off" from center as well. This is very annoying on the dual screen monitors on the login screen, as a dot pattern is overlayed the default fallpaper with ubuntu logo on the dead centre. See attachment. "moving" the origamy overlay shadows/lines a bit down and a bit to the right would make it look better for the ubuntu geeks =)

See screenshot of $ unity-greeter --test-mode, with the wallpaper from comment 14. The symmetry is highlighted by the dot pattern and the logo, and thus looks odd.

Ubuntu 15.04
when using default wallpapers 15.04 runs fine however when setting a picture as wallpaper and then trying to shut down the machine locks on the wallpaper I set as back ground. I can do a hard boot and after coming back up I remove the wallpaper and use any default one and it works fine on shut down
