@aaronprisk: where it says “Votes are public”, is that required?

[aaronprisk]

Not required. We just have it enabled for the contests for transparency sake and to prevent “vote stuffing” from newly made accounts.

Well in the next few weeks, our wallpapers that are voted a winner will be included with ubuntu-wallpapers package. My Warty Remastered wallpaper will be the perfect example for some people including Joey from OMG! Ubuntu on reviewing Ubuntu 24.10, this is awesome.

I’ll get ready for my thoughts about that.

[meetdilip]

I have shared the original image through Google Drive.

[romactu1]

Joey from OMG! Ubuntu finally sees my Warty Wallpaper but it was included as JPG file (It will increase band) instead of as PNG file.

So to remedy that, I created the package called Ubuntu 24.10+ to get a PNG version if you want. It also includes Legacy Plymouth, Ubuntu 12.04 wallpaper and Ubuntu Warty Remastered shutdown sound.

Is to enjoy with Ubuntu’s 20th Anniversary more than ever.

[vanvugt]

That link is private, but also this needs to be tracked as a bug in ubuntu-wallpapers.

[romactu1]

Hello vanvugt

Sorry for an error , I’ll remedy that to allow you to download it and try it.
Go visit, click on “Ubuntu 24.10+ Package” and click on Download. Done.
