I’ve added, as you can see in the homepage of the GNOME 2.24 Wallpaper Contest, a countdown which specify the last day you can submit your wallpapers 
(it will end the 23 of May)
We got a bunch of good nature pictures (though only a few can be accepted because of the guidelines in terms of usability), and only a few (but good) abstract ones… so if you are great with inkscape, patterns etc etc please submit!

Yeah we got some good abstract wallpapers, but sadly we can’t say the same for the nature ones (except for one or two…) 
Not because the pictures were not good, but because a nice photo is generally not suitable as a wallpaper!
As said: please follow the quality guidelines. Expecially “Soft focus” and “No strong focal points”.
Also, we are thinking about the ending date, maybe in May or the first days of June, since Thomas (thos) needs more time for the translations! (so go and submit your walls!)

Hi Artists/Designers!!!
Today starts the Wallpaper Contest for GNOME 2.24, which should give a fresh breath of new wallpapers.
Our idea is to find out good wallpapers to match current GNOME style (Clearlooks and Tangoish style), and with them find out talented artists that may join (if they likes) our artwork team.
There’s not yet an ending date, maybe it will be around the GUADEC, so there can be a discussion in the Meeting.
Please follow the submission guidelines, in both general and quality sections. They summarize the aspects we will take in mind when choosing the winners.
Thanks to KDE people for the permission to take some guidelines from their 4.0 contest

I’ve added an ugly hack 
to support GtkMenubar’s shadow-none also for menubar in RGBA mode
The ugly code is in the gedit window… yeah you might want to kill me!
Commit will follow soon. Cheers.
