I talked to you about these in IRC :) But just to reiterate for everyone 
else, I really loved the yellow one and I tried to incorporate that 
effect in these:

That would be great!

I do think the colors need to be adjusted a bit to fit the Mist icon 
set. It should be okay to just stretch the wallpaper to fit the 16:10 
screen, it'll give us a feel for the color match. Maybe have a nautilus 
window open with some icons and maybe the wallpaper dialog?
