Middle left. Don’t know the numbering scheme, 3?

Yes, 1,2 and 5 look too much like a windows background. I think this one is unique and still clean and calm.

5, 3, 6 are all decent.

node815@lemmy.world on 02 Dec 2023 19:15 next collapse

1 or 2.
I don’t care so much for pixel art or the greenish ‘honeycomb’ one. The bottom left would be third choice.

ace@lemmy.ananace.dev on 02 Dec 2023 19:55 next collapse

Definitely the third / middle left, but the bottom right definitely gets second place to me.
Not a major fan of too abstract art, and those are just both so serene.

If I’d have to choose I’d go with Window or Tree, I’m not fully convinced of either tho… I like Konqi in the Window one.

I like the vibe of 4 and 6.

Then 5, 2, 1, 3, that have ‘professional’(?) look.

Nothing

BaumGeist@lemmy.ml on 02 Dec 2023 23:42 next collapse

If I’m going to have a lot of icons on the desktop, I’d want one of the visually uncomplicated ones (top right, bottom left). Otherwise, if it’s just for eye-candy and what I have to see everytime my windows are minimized, I’d either go for mid-left or bottom-right. I fall into the latter category, but y’all in the former may consider that when casting your vote

Stillhart@lemm.ee on 03 Dec 2023 03:26 collapse

This. It needs to be visually uncomplicated so I can actually see what’s living on the desktop. Because of that, I prefer bottom right the most, though I generally like much darker backgrounds. Color shift that into something darker like an alien or night scene, and it’d be perfect for me.

punkwalrus@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2023 01:01 next collapse

I am not wild about any of them, but center left, bottom left are my least annoying. I’ll just change it to something else when i go to Plasma 6 (which I started testing, and while overall it looks great, and is pretty snappy, the Neon Testing is seriously unstable in other areas – but they warn you about that, so that’s on me).

Joelk111@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2023 02:02 next collapse

I like middle left and bottom right. Top left would be alright too - kinda generic, but I like it better than any windows default background.

onlinepersona@programming.dev on 03 Dec 2023 19:48 collapse

The hexagons do look nice. I wouldn’t mind having all of them though. They could rotate at every boot.

WalrusByte@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2023 03:08 next collapse

Middle right and bottom right are my favorites

01189998819991197253@infosec.pub on 03 Dec 2023 03:13 next collapse

In order, starting with most favorite: bottom right, middle right, middle left, top left.

Not a fan of the top right and bottom left.

ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social on 03 Dec 2023 03:59 next collapse

Default? Top left. It should be visually appealing to most people, and it would honestly just be odd to have the default wallpaper be cartoon styled. And the bottom left looks too much like W11. But I think they should all be included as options.

mdk_@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2023 05:40 next collapse

Top right seems to be the best.

The others:

  • Top left: Mystery tongue coming from or going somewhere
  • Middle left: Much to bright, hard edges make finding icons difficult
  • Middle right: Too many dark areas
  • Bottom left: Might be okay as well
  • Bottom right: Too bright and might not fit the mood as this seems to be an anime inspired background
Holzkohlen@feddit.de on 03 Dec 2023 08:11 next collapse

Imma set bot right and never ever touch it again. I’m good as long as it’s not too bright. Don’t particularly like to flashbang myself on accident.

The dark mode variant of that one is truly beautiful, and shouldn’t flashbang you:

archy@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2023 18:17 next collapse

3rd one fits KDE style, also 6 is amazing too

smileyhead@discuss.tchncs.de on 03 Dec 2023 18:28 next collapse

3 and 4 are nice but as something someone would set themself. Too much character and detail to be the default when Plasma do not target any specific demographic.

1, 2 and 5 are nice abstract wallpapers, but honestly boring as we have stuff like that for years.

6 is the best. This is wallpaper with some style, but not too much character.

Edit: Just in my opinion and for my eye of course.

Tier1BuildABear@lemmy.world on 03 Dec 2023 18:42 next collapse

The one with the clock better have a moving clock otherwise I hate it. Static clocks should never be part of a wallpaper.

micke@lemm.ee on 03 Dec 2023 19:06 next collapse

The red tree 👍

callyral@pawb.social on 03 Dec 2023 20:06 next collapse

The middle-right one. Would be nice though if instead of a clock it had something else since it’d be weird to have a static clock.

My secondary choice would be the one with the red tree.

Probably 2, but as I always use my own images for my desktop anyway, the default wallpaper really doesn’t matter to me.
