Wallpaper Submission - "Breath" Style

I’m a sucker for that kind of bright blue.

my pardon, i dont quite get what you mean and which wallpaper ?

thanks for your response though, im just realized depending on the monitor, serenity wallpaper can get light bluish or gentle blue. just spot it between my laptop and tv monitor.

though, i think brightness and slight color matters can be easily resolved in the end with GIMP.

refresed serenity gitlab page

added all variant preview in submission gitlab pages

added a bunch of useless screenshot in online gallery :slight_smile:

added submission 2: Joy

calm and vivid, a wallpaper that present joyful vibe. variation of breath style.

tidying up repos

add new folder /src/design . contains material for artist and developer who want to explore and discover the concept of breath style further.

here, just a small example of breath style implementation in artworks.

moving to work into submission 3:

there is a lot to be redone into submission 3 so i think it will need more time. until its done, as my usual tendency to post unrelated and useless artwork just for fun, here a spoiler :slight_smile:

[!] replaced submission 2: Joy

Joy is somewhat similiar to serenity so i want to present a more novel design. joy will still be accessible in unreleased folder.

unified wallpaper that goes nice with all color theme

I really love this design! Perhaps the best so far. It’s just the dark version that leaves something to be desired. It’s not near dark enough. I wonder if a navy or dark purple background would work better.

thank you all, alternate variation preview will come in revision folder

red island its inspired from plasma 5.27 mountain wallpapers, its nor light nor dark enough.

Big fan of this Serenety wallpaper. Would love to see a dark mode version

Edit: I noticed the dark version; I don’t think it’s as strong as the light version though. Serenity-light seems in line with “Breeze light” design language, but Serenity-dark doesn’t feel consistent with “Breeze dark” very much. The foreground elements also pop less than the light version, and I find the combination of colors unpleasant in comparison.

I imagine a dark version would be better with the centerpiece still being white or light grey, on a very dark grey background, with blue lighting from above causing faint highlights throughout.

Hope my opinion isn’t discouraging. This is still my favorite wallpaper so far.

thank you.

as long people communicate in good manner, im always happy to take or consider any opinion or suggestion.

here i made a base image as you imagine.

from there you can download it within the forum gallery then use GIMP to further suit your tastes. maybe something like this ?

there is also past revision. come take a look maybe you will find your liked ones already:

ps: in the end, “if” serenity does not get selected, im still hope it can be included as extra wallpaper or maybe even for future release.

the pure blue feeling reminds me of my childhood where computers used to be blue interface everywhere: kde 3, macos aqua, gnome 2, solaris, and the ultimate win 7 aero. they all truly gorgerous and memorable past.

i still think blue is the best and pleasant color for technology and would love to see kde in plasma 6 back to its blue roots for a while.

just highly opinion of user who had lived trough 1999 computer era :blue_heart: - biru
