I stumbled across this the other day, I’ve no idea why the fedora team would go to the effort of making a really nice theme for the lock dialogue for gnome screen saver then leave it “disabled by default”. After a quick google I found the ubuntu guys have been up to something similar, so here a quick how to enable the fedora art work on the gnome-screensaver lock screen.

To enable paste this into a terminal (NOT root, as your normal user).

gconftool-2 -s --type=string /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_dialog_theme system


To switch it back:

gconftool-2 -s --type=string /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_dialog_theme default


The only “downer” is that your avatar isn’t shown, but for my work laptop I prefer this theme, much cooler fedora advocate when I’m not at my desk

I don’t know what it is this month, but the wallpapers are flowing out of me!!

It's like, Gnome meets Mac meets Neo!

EDIT: Now available on art.gnome

Look at this, dry for ages, and 2 posts in a day!

Actually this happened a couple of days ago, my laptop crashed, and this black & stripy screen is what I got, I thought it’d make a cool gnome art

Making good use of the time she crashed.

Not too much, not too little.

I like gradients, blue and was aiming for something simple. A copy can be downloaded from gnome look here. I don’t suppose it’s good enough for art.gnome so I won’t bother

Tiz cold in here!

Frosy Grass is by far my most successful piece of gnome art; it’s got my best rating in art.gnome.org, and has a massive 3209 downloads (art.gnome = 2425 gnome look = 784).

Today, I just found something really cool, Frosty Grass is in a novel presentation video !!!!!!
Take a look at http://www.linuxedge.org/?q=node/58 it’s a demonstration of new rendering for gnome; fancy transparent windows, flipping desktops, all that cool stuff. As you’ll notice in the 1st few seconds of the video my art work is in the folder that gets moved,stretched and faded in the presentation !

As you can tell I’m over the moon about this, I think It’s well cool, I just wish I’d found it earlier

So here we have it… Gnome Blogger

The back grounds are transparent so you can mess with the colours, I’ve done a light and a dark one depending on your taste !

It looks like gallery2 has buggered up the screen shots , so you can see some at art.gnome or gnome-look:

• Gnome Blogger white.
• Gnome Blogger black

Tango Beer
Backgrounds – GNOME

It’s under different name, but it’s nice to see the art.gnome people like my simple beer wallpaper

My first draft was very plain, but then I remember this bottle top lid, I think it’s just the right touch.

Hope you like them

This picture has been on the camera for a week or two, but the recent additions to art.gnome have inspired me to crop this up to a nice shot.
