“Other backgrounds:

“A number of packages will appear in Linux Mint 9:

* “mint-wallpapers-extra” will contain many wallpapers made for
Linux Mint 9 which weren’t installed by default, unbranded versions
of 96works’ artwork, variations from Talento Design and At your
service, and a few others.
* “mint-wallpapers-previous-releases” will contain the wallpapers
used by past releases, such as the very popular “Dew” used in Linux
Mint 7 Gloria, and the black wallpapers used in Linux Mint 3, 4, 5,
6..
* “mint-wallpapers-source” will contain the .PSD, .XCF, .SVG
sources of the wallpapers and also the Linux Mint logos. We bought
the copyrights on the artwork from 29A, At your service, Talento
Design and 96works and we’re freeing it all for everyone to use.
This package will give artists in our community great resources to
start from, to modify and to reuse for their own creations.
* We’ll also probably include a community package which will grow
bigger as the community adds to it, but this is likely to happen
after the release of Linux Mint 9.”
