From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc4 Firefox/1.0.7 Description of problem: The blue background with bubbles might constitute a problem to visually impaired people. The smallest bubbles are about the same size as the icons. If you place a files or a folders in the bubble area they will be very hard to see. From a usability point of view there is nothing wrong with having some kind of pattern on the desktop. It may actually help the user to remember where he put things. To be helpful, the patterns must be more toned down and the smallest detail must be much bigger than the size of the icons. That way icons will appear more clearly on the desktop. Other than that the image is beautiful, but beautiful is not enough when it comes to default settings. They must be usable as well. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Log in to a gnome session 2. Place file in the bubbly area 3. Notice how hard it is to see. Additional info:
I don't see this as a serious problem. a) you can just place your file somewhere else b) you can pick a different background cc'ing Diana before closing this. Diana, any comment ?
Not going to make any changes here...
