The bottom right is great. Modern, warm, enough contrast, ... . Imho going with plain blue or green backgrounds are becoming a cliche in KDE and tbh a little bit old-fashioned.
@[email protected]
Agreed. That or top left for me.
Top left (especially), or bottom left I think.. Top left is elegant, has a variety of hues and not just plain blue, modern.. I think it would suit a wide range of consumers ¯_(ツ)_/¯
+1 for top left!
Same, top left is my choice.
Looks too mac y
Is that such a bad thing? I think it looks distinct enough..
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Bottom right one is the one for me, epic!
I like top left the best, but honestly almost all wallpapers are too bright for me. I want something really dark. I dislike feeling blinded at night when I close all my software
People had to submit light, dark , horizontal and vertical versions.
Finalists announcement here : https://discuss.kde.org/t/finalists-announcement/7862/10
Some other great submissions here : https://discuss.kde.org/c/community/wallpaper-competition/26
For the last wallpaper (the mountain one) there was a light and a dark version. I hope they do something similar here (I'd like it to integrate with Night Colour).
Bottom right for sure
Bottom right is the best because the light colors and non-busy art won't hide desktop icons.
Yep and I prefer warm colors and cute looking art to corporate ass abstract backgrounds (no disrespect to kde team)
Bottom right all the way
Top left looks best as a default wallpaper in my opinion. Nice mix of colours, not too bright or too dark, and generally seems appealing while not being too distracting.
Bottom right.
Dear diary, today I contributed to the ongoing development of FOSS software.
Middle left!
Middle left looks so peaceful 😇
Top left, then bottom right ✌️
Bottom right.
Top left or bottom right
Fiery tree bottom right!
I like middle right
the colors are really nice and homey
Okay but please delete the time off the alarm clock. I can add my own.
Bottom right FTW. Love the colors and sense of serenity
Hands down the tree.
Top left
It gives me quite a plasma feeling too
My first choice is bottom right and second choice is middle right.
Bottom right
Bottom right
Bottom right.
Bottom right looks awesome, but mid right has potential too. The only thing holding it back imo is the overall grayness of the foreground being a bit too much.
@[email protected] @[email protected] right bottom (the tree) is the best, the one above it is the second place
@[email protected] @[email protected] bottom right
I like bottom right the most, but it does't really feel like a default wallpaper as much as top left. Middle right feels like part of a tiling WM with custom colors more than a default for a DE.
I like bottom right best. It might be a bit to bright though.
Bottom right
Bottom right
Sorry but I don't like them much. They seem kinda similar to past ones.
If I had to choose I would say top left.
Bottom right or middle right
Where download?
I really like the middle right, but sadly fat fucking chance of it ever being chosen
I like the bottom-right the most, but I feel like top-right and bottom-left are what I would most associate with being a default desktop wallpaper.
The minecraft biome gave me trypophobia
Bottom right. Nice and colorful
@[email protected] @[email protected] bottom right - it's bright and gorgeous and unique without being too busy.
They all look great but we need a dark and light version of the winner.
@[email protected] @[email protected]
they could use a label. i prefer bottom-right.
Bottom right
Top left or bottom right for me
@kde @kde Middle left caught my eye immediately. Beautiful!!
Middle left is gorgeous, but a little bit game-y vibe for a default
@OsrsNeedsF2P You're right. I'd vote top-left then.
@golemwire @[email protected] @[email protected] Why two different KDE accounts? Just wondering...
@axiomatic @[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected]
Floss.social relates to a mastodon instance, that is the fediverse version of twitter.
lemmy.kde.social is an instance of Lemmy a Fediverse version of Reddit.
The activity pub definition means lemmy posts are kinda visible of mastodon and you can reply from mastodon.
Clearly I have weird taste but I don't find any of these appealing in the least.
Oooh, I love both middle right and bottom right, but I think I prefer middle right.
Middle right vote. Second is bottom right.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I think it's top left, but I'd love bottom right
submissive right
the bottom left one
Hmm~ I would say that the bottom right one caught my eye, but I would go with the top left one as the default wallpaper. It looks sophisticated and clean. It depends on the first impression you want to give.
Bottom right or middle right.
@[email protected] @[email protected] you probably want to give them labels, so people can vote on them.
@justin @kde @[email protected] we don't want people to vote on them. This will be decided by community judges.
@carlschwan @[email protected] @[email protected] it would still be nice to know their titles for general discussion.
Middle right
Top or bottom left
@[email protected] @[email protected] Top left and middle right are my favorite, but please ship all of these!!! they're all great!
@[email protected] @[email protected] I like middle-left. Bottom right is very Plasma-y, me gusta.
In order of preference, bottom right, middle left, and middle right.
I love the adorable and wholesome cartoons that KDE includes in its background collections.
@[email protected] @[email protected]
i *need* the one in the bottom right corner! :3 :blobhaj_hearts:
Middle right, bottom right, and then middle left in that order. Anything else I wouldn't rank in any order because I don't like them at all.
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Bottom left 🤔
@kde @kde Middle left, middle right, or bottom right. Those three are all great. The other three are kinda generic and look like any other background.
@kde @[email protected] Awww, all of them look gorgeous!😍
I'd like to have all of them as a wallpaper switching out one for the other every time I log in (I know there is a setting for it).
But if I had to choose: the bottom left one. ✨
Nice, top left as favourite for me, but all of them are pretty!
Def bottom right
@[email protected] @[email protected] all of them
@[email protected] @[email protected] The first (Waves) one is spot on, balanced on colours, closer to previous plasma wallpapers, I would be very happy if that's the default! Flow is also good, the rest, while interesting, are not qualified as good wallpaper. I know I'm probably a rare breed these days, who still uses desktop for actually storing things there and that affects my wallpaper choice a lot.
@[email protected] @[email protected] answered my own question. Final voting is here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/finalists-announcement/7862

#Plasma6 #wallpaper #desktop
I have a simple solution. Just use multiple desktops. You can use all of them as default. 😃
Then you don't have to decide. 🤓
@[email protected] @[email protected] center right one. It's something different.
@[email protected] @[email protected]
top corner right 👌
they're all so good. the artists outdid themselves!
Top left
All should be included, but the right bottom is my favorite
All of these are pretty good
The first one.
@[email protected] @[email protected] I really like the one with the tree but I think for the #Megarelease of Plasma 6 one of the abstract ones might be better.
Ack mine wasn't chosen (well I wasn't counting on it anyway xP) Honestly middle right and bottom right caught my eyes the most.
Bottom right though center left is off doing its own thing which I can respect
All of thrm for sure! But to pick the default, I'll go for the top right.
All of them are beautiful, but I like the middle-left one the most
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Bottom left
3A is my choice.
Honestly? Bring em all
@kde @[email protected] Bottom left
Mid left
Bottom right
Mid right
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Bottom 2 are nice
@[email protected] @[email protected] tf you mean I have to choose 😭
@ioletsgo @[email protected] @[email protected] only you can choose the plasma 6 wallpaper. you MUST choose an image!!!
@thememesniper @[email protected] @[email protected] I can only really choose which one I feel works the worst as a wallpaper (They actually took notes that it might be hard to see icons with number 3)
@[email protected] @[email protected] why not include them all as an option? They're all beautiful and worthy of KDE!
@kde @kde the middle right and bottom right ones look great, gimme!
@[email protected] @[email protected] I like the one in the upper left corner the most :)
@kde @kde (1,1) is my favourite
Can we download the full-size versions somewhere?
You can find them here: https://discuss.kde.org/t/finalists-announcement/7862/3
Thanks! Only 1080p unfortunately :(
@[email protected] @[email protected] N° 6... The one with the tree
@[email protected] @[email protected] I would say top right (more formal) or bottom right (friendlier)
@[email protected] @[email protected] personally I would go tree, but brand wise, bottom left, third choice is the first
Damn, those are all winners in my book!
After one gets picked as the new default, will the others be available as options?
@jsh @kde According to https://discuss.kde.org/t/finalists-announcement/7862 yes, there will be an additional wallpaper pack with some of the wallpaper from the competition.
Number 6 is great. But make sure you pay the royalties to Emily Gwen for using her pride flag as inspiration.
Middle left!
@[email protected] @[email protected] Bottom right corner or the one above (with a lovely tiny creature 😄)
6
@[email protected] @[email protected] Top left
Middle left, middle right, or bottom right
@[email protected] @[email protected] The last one. I would really like to see a nice scene instead of the computer generated blocks and gradient
Top Right and Bottom Left.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Middle and bottom right are the most charming for me 😉
I can't wait for Plasma 6 to be available in openSUSE soon :innocent_ai:
This is hard, so many are great!
@[email protected] @[email protected] I think the hexworld one is my favorite. The middle-left one in this collage.
Top right. Would be better if black and silver.
1,2,3,5
Didnt see those yet! Awesome work!
In the Forum thread there are way more that are just as awesome
https://discuss.kde.org/c/community/wallpaper-competition/26
Bottom left and top right are really good
@[email protected] @[email protected] Sun/comet, my favourite! Congrats anyway to all the finalists! 👏👏
None, they are all too bright!
@[email protected] @[email protected] All of them, of course. 😁
The bottom right, for sure!
@[email protected] @[email protected] I love all of these great artworks! 🥰 But the last one with the tree transports so much of detail and expression KDE stands for in such a lovely way which would make me choose this one! 😊✨
I love bottom left a lot
@semperverus @kde WTF dude?
Now I want to change my nick to "Semperversus". Fits in so many twisted ways! 😋
I have no idea what you're on about. What did I do to upset you?
@semperverus Nothing man. I was joking. Sorry if I upset you. easn't my intention.
Hexagon terrain is the best and super neat
I'm a top righter. Reckon I'm old.
@[email protected] @[email protected] how could you possibly ask me to pick between these 😭 all of them of course!
@[email protected] @[email protected] yea I need all of them. My vote is on bottom right. Vibrant colors are always a highlight
Either of the middle, or the lower right.
Non-figurative ones are boring, although beautiful: we had our share of those during previous editions of Plasma. But maybe they have a more corporate vibe... And they definitely are in line with current Plasma identity.
On the other hand, middle right and bottom right are really nice. I think I like middle right in particular, but it's probably too cute for me to be seen having such a wallpaper;). Bottom right it's much safer!
(That said... I will just switch to one of the "picture of the day" plugins, as usual).
I need real natural beauty like the mountains wallpaper
Don't use plasma, but mid left is cozy AF.
I love the top left flying pillow wallpaper. 😜
@kde @[email protected] top left or bottom left
Middle right is epic!
I'll have to say the style of bottom left gives a real sense of depth. And its a good size to be seen from afar on like a lockscreen, which is generally the only time my background is visible anyway.
Top right for "traditional", bottom right for something a little different/fresh from what you'd normally expect
Bottom left
@[email protected] @[email protected] top-left, and bottom-right
@kde @[email protected] I really want that one with the Konqi on the window. Is it avaliable for download?
@[email protected] @[email protected] Konqi staring out the window.
@[email protected] @[email protected]
https://youtu.be/HyZxIcXUs24?si=urv-umt-NG1pfvK0
@[email protected] @[email protected] I like the Maxfield Parrish riff on the one looking out a window
@[email protected] @[email protected] I prefer either left-middle, right-middle or right-bottom.
@[email protected] @[email protected] Are you aware Mastodon supports polls in posts?
It's not a poll. Judges will decide the winner.
Wait until you discover what a conversation is.
It will blow your mind.
Judges would like to get a feel of what the community likes. And nobody is forcing anybody to write a comment 🤷 .
Remove the playful dragon entirely and you got a spot on metapher: A personalized view onto the landscape chosen on its own (housing).
It also implies maturity by two things:
The plants are already grown, like KDE.
One (Unix) is at the root of image generation.
no 3 left side middle one
@[email protected] @[email protected] The new wallpapers are very nice, I can't wait to see them in Plasma 6.0. As I understand this is not the final version, should we expect more improvements?
@[email protected] @[email protected] I want all of them
@selkerd @[email protected] @[email protected] 100% agree. I want all of them too. Little, very little preferencre for the minecraft/wesboth lookalikeonr, but I still want all of them
@[email protected] @[email protected] Like @selkerd said, all.
@selkerd @[email protected] @[email protected] I want all of them too, every wallpapers look great!
@selkerd @[email protected] @[email protected] yeah, they're all great. I think the second one will win though
Conservative right
@[email protected] @[email protected] An easy middle left from me!
My top 3 are:
Okay but please delete the time off the alarm clock. I can add my own.
middle left
Definitely bottom right.
The one bottom right is the best in my opinion.
OOoh I love the bottom left and middle right
I'm a simple guy with simple tastes so I'm going to be apparently the only person in this thread to say top right
@[email protected] @[email protected]
All the corner ones are great.
@[email protected] @[email protected] wow I want them all, but as a default wallpaper I would prefer the fisrt one. Fresh and modern in a future new floating plasma panel I think :thinkhappy:
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Number 3 looks great!
@[email protected]
Feeling middle left. Bottom right is a very close second.
The top two and bottom left are too generic for my tastes.
@[email protected]
I like the bottom left cause it's more in line with the style KDE normally selects.
Bottom left or top left scream sleek desktop background
+1 Bottom right
@kde @[email protected]
Stairway !!!
@[email protected] @[email protected] Yaaaay! Bottom and top left, for sure! They look cool, clean, and snazzy without being tied to any strange art style...
@[email protected] @[email protected] Middle ones and bottom right. Especially the ones on the right are great!
@[email protected] @[email protected]
Hexagons are bestagons!
If there wasn’t a weird monster, backpack, or out of place alarm clock in the middle right one, that would’ve been my favorite. The alarm clock isn’t even within reach of a bed to snooze it or turn it off. The backpack makes it too cluttered. The view through the window and the colors are my favorite, however.
As-is, the bottom two are the ones I like most. I love the color of the bottom left and I like the nature of the bottom right though I am not a fan of so much orange.
