Is there any chance of using a variant of Royal-Red for 7.2 Final instead of the one currently in Wallpapers?

For some displays (1200x800, dual-screen, etc.) and some users (e.g., me), a big, centered logo does not work very well. I could imagine a variant with a smaller logo placed in the lower right quadrant, for example, that would both be a bit subtler and have wider applicability.

Sounds like a good idea to me. impuwatt made the Red-Royal wallpaper, maybe he or someone else (Sakasa) could do the job. I'm hopeless with gimp/graphics.

I try to set this up for you. I am not sure who did the royal logo, I think it was Impuwat this is an inspiration from his logo. Hope you like and also impuwat like this one. Sorry about the delay a little.

Is this what you had in mind Jerry? This is just a quick and dirty to see if this is what you had in mind. I can change the desktop size, etc and clean up the image if this is what you were thinking of. Sorry I've been away for a time.

Nice job Sakasa! Thanks for stepping in there and helping out. I had to download your variation.

Thats nice, I love red and black color combination. Simple, Black, but Red there too...Beauty. I am a dark soul, I guess.

I prefer the red personally, for no other reason than that it's colourful, and i really like the"Royal Red" thing you've done with the new fluxbox style... (even though i don't particularly like the colour red very much) It just looks really cool. __{{emoticon}}__

But i agree with eeriefisher..... BTB would be great. It's good to have some choice of wallpapers & styles etc.

My vote for default wallpaper would be Sakasa's BTB. It's my personal favorite of his work thus far.

I would like to see my royal red fluxbox style listed as one of the available styles. I don't use very many of the styles included with antiX. For some reason many of them either look small and crowded or too large. Which is why I started developing other fluxbox styles. I use the antiX style the most, which is why I modified it into the royal red style. That way I have a style I like in two color variations.

Thanks, but your fluxbox is outstanding for me.
