So, at the today's design team meeting we decided on the wallpapers for Laughlin Alpha and I've packaged them. The packages are available at the usual place until they get into fedora (review request). For gnome you'll need laughlin-backgrounds-gnome, for kde you'll need laughlin-backgrounds-kde, and in addition, in both cases you'll need laughlin-backgrounds-single. The packages are built in F12, but should work on any reasonably new Fedora ;-)
And here's a screenshot from my F12:
Please contribute to the F14 artwork by giving us feedback, preferably at a dedicated wiki page.
2010/08/01 UPDATE: the packages are now available in F14 and rawhide.

I don't know. I think there is too much contrast, too sharp edges. I think Icons don't look too well on this background.
I use F13, but I really do like and use Solar...
I don't complain about contrast but about the highlights... the white areas are too white, in photography we call those areas "burned" and they are the effect of over-exposure.
Like Frank, I think it has way too sharp edges and contrast.
Also, the convergence of the lines seems to create a tunnel, which attracts my eyes to the bottom of it, distracting me from what I'm doing on my computer.
I'm not advocating plain one-color wallpapers, but I think a beautiful wallpaper should remain more discreet. In this regard, I love the Goddard wallpaper, or the always awesome Infinity (Fedora 8) background.
Would it be possible to have a set of criteria on the wiki feedback page that people could maybe use to mark/grade it upon? At the moment, all we're saying is "looks awesome" which is ambiguous.
@FranciscoD: unfortunately for now we only have the wiki. But you don't have to say "looks awesome", you can use more words and explain what you like and do not like.
Where can i get the version shown in the screenshot? can you post a copy somewhere?
