Yeah. Do something with the colours otherwise it's nice. But for $GOD sake don't use human theme.

the background blue is too dark and so the kubuntu logo is not visible clearly.
otherwise a great attempt.*img246.imageshack.us/img246/8399/thumbsup4kk.gif

^Nice attempts, but how abt makin stuff thats distro neutral, that way ,everyone gets to use it.
Btw, There's a group on gnome-look , who hate guys who make distro specific stuff :p

The colours are more suttle on this one.. and it doesn't hurt my eye as much as the last one :p

However, you will feel a bit akward when you stare at it for a min and then close that screen all of a sudden, it's like.. you eye still stays green.. maybe I need to get an eye with better refresh rate :D

Anyways, the point about making a successful wallpaper is the colors being submissive or a more suttle or pleasant one. This is very important no matter what the picture is. I guess 99% of us would love a walpaper with a sea setting sun than a mid day shot of the sun.. don't we? get the point now?

Green looks good :) But just use some darker shades of green so that its easier on the eyes. Good work, Shashwat!

BTW why don't you release a version with kubuntu logo and the other without the logo.
