I don't know if this fits in with anything you really need because the desktop environments are their own animal but I would be willing to donate/develop some good wallpapers that don't burn the eyeballs like the pink stuff on kde plasma. My skills lie in photography and art, not coding so it is the only way I could be helpful. I think that a 'devuan' wallpaper pack featuring quality photography and fun design that is ergonomic for the eyeballs (is that a thing?) would be really fun to put together. I also illustrate and draw comics. I always make my own wallpapers from my art. I don't know what is involved in the backend of wallpaper so I don't know how worthwhile this would be on your end but I think it might be appealing as a little perk for the newbies coming from slicker packaging OS. I really appreciate what you do here and your installer is so awesome for those less experienced. Anyway, just a thought and an offer in case it helps. ps, I'm also used to designing for other people and bringing their ideas to life so I'm pretty open to input and easy to work with.

Thanks for your offer, mamaforestcritter . . .

You are welcome to make your wallpapers available to devuan users. Perhaps you could start a thread on this forum, maybe in DIY.

If you are more ambitious, I will point you to where the default desktop theming is kept in our git:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … t/graphics

If you have an interest, this is the official guide to theming the default desktop. Note that it might not be viable with newer GTK and other Debian "defacements":

https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documenta … -devuan.md

That might give you some ideas . . .

PS. I am also a "forest critter" of sorts . . .

Cool thanks! Once I get the hang of it I just might rope in my photography students and scoop some graphic design and art students ( I teach jewelry/metalsmithing and photography with basic photoshop) into a project/contest/extra credit?hmmm. I'm always trying to introduce students to open source tech. I'll post in DYI when I get a little more organized. Wheels are spinning fun fun!

^^^That sounds amazing, great to have another artist join the crew, I think @golinux is spot on in that the DIY section is the perfect place for such things, I look forward to seeing what you and your students come up with!
