I and my family visited my mother, who recently moved to the isle Fehmarn, for one week. It was way too short (as every vacation) but we will be back soon as Fehmarn is a very beautiful isle in the east sea of Germany just right before Denmark. We visited almost every possible beach on the isle and every single beach was different. From a sandy (but artifical) south beach to a rocky east beach.
And of course I had my camera with me and took a lot of beautiful pictures. In my opinion two of them are very suitable as wallpapers and here they are.
Dunes of Fehmarn
This
time I've packaged the wallpaper in the KDE 4 wallpaper format, which
includes multiple file sizes. KDE will automatically select the
appropriate size after installing the wallpaper. Please see below for
more information on how to install it or how to use the wallpapers on
non-KDE systems.
And here is the download link for the Dunes of Fehmarn wallpaper.
Canola and Poppy
Just like the wallpaper above also packaged in the KDE 4 wallpaper distribution format.
Here the download link for the Canola and Poppy wallpaper.
Installation for KDE 4
Since KDE 4 wallpapers can be packaged in a
special file structure. The author can provide some meta information
for the wallpaper and provide alternative resolutions. KDE will then
automatically select the correct size of the wallpaper depending on the
actual screen size.
All you have to do is to download the file and extract it into the appropriate folder.
To install the wallpapers for the current user only the wallpapers must be installed in the KDE settings directory of your home folder. Just execute one of the following commands:
- Dunes of Fehmarn:
tar jxvf Dunes_of_Fehmarn.tar.bz2 -C `kde-config --localprefix`/share/wallpapers
- Canola and Poppy:
tar jxvf Canola_and_Poppy.tar.bz2 -C `kde-config --localprefix`/share/wallpapers
To install the wallpapers for all users extracts the archives into the global wallpapers folder:
- Dunes of Fehmarn:
sudo tar jxvf Dunes_of_Fehmarn.tar.bz2 -C `kde-config --prefix`/share/wallpapers
- Canola and Poppy:
sudo tar jxvf Canola_and_Poppy.tar.bz2 -C `kde-config --prefix`/share/wallpapers
Other Desktop Environments
Just extract the archive. The wallpapers can be found in the subdirectory content/images. The wallpapers are available there in the following sizes:
- 1024x768
- 1280x800
- 1280x1024
- 1440x900
- 1600x1200
- 1920x1200
Microsoft Windows
These wallpapers are not supported on Microsoft Windows. Please install Linux or try using IZarc to extract the images.
