Nice one, I like the icon park idea - seen that done before and I've always liked it, makes the desktop look more `interactive' and less like a still from the LOTR film (for example, that's what I have at the moment) plonked on the desktop. And thanks for making a PNG version, don't know if it was because I asked for it but I appreciate it nonetheless. :)
I made a png-version on your request, and I was quite surprised, how small the file was; before that I was always afraid of png, because it gets pretty large when the picture has much details and colors.
That's nice of you. :)
PNG is a _very good_ format for lossless compression of pictures - generally it's excellent for using in places where you would otherwise use GIF, for example. The only thing I would not use PNG for on the Internet is photographs (JPEG is still the best) and other complex pictures, but for other things it's great and can compress very well indeed.
The general procedure on kde-look is posting a PNG unless the picture is too big to upload, in that case what many people do (and what I think is the best thing) is uploading a JPEG image and linking to a homepage where the original PNG can be downloaded.
Thanks again for the wallpaper, nice work.
