Thanks solo and vovchik, two nice tiles for my collection
This is how solo's looks when rox does the tiling on my 1440x900 monitor.

That looks .....not so nice, step! I think there's an issue with how ROX handles SVG transparancy.

Here's the same tile, but this time I've put a colored rectangle in the backround and gave a color to the insides of the figure, so that all transparancy is gone.

Code: Select all

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="96" height="96">
<path d="M-2-2H98V98H-2z" fill="teal"/>

Now, you can easily change these colors yourself when you open the svg with a text editor.
As you may notice in this particular example, there are two different ways to define a color in an svg. You can use the X11 color names (/usr/share/X11/rgb.txt is a handy list), or you can use hexadecimal values.

There are three values in this file you can change. The first one, fill="teal", concerns your backround color.
You can either choose a different color name from the text file list I mentioned, or you can go to the -Graphics-Gcolor2 color picker- in your menu. There, you can pick a color you like, and when you found one, you can see the hexadecimal value of the color in the Color name field. You simply replace the value in the svg file with the one in the Color name field.
The second entry, fill="#ffffff", stands for the color inside the lines of the pattern, which, for now, is white.
The third value, stroke="#444444", stands for the color of the lines, which is gray now.

So there. With this knowledge, I'm sure your backround pattern will look a lot better!

Thanks solo, this is how the colored tile looks when rox sets the background. Much better!

Okay, last addition and then we'll put it to rest.

For those freaks who enjoy a headache inducing andalucian colorsplash as a wallpaper, here's a multicolored version.

Feel free to adjust the colors to your own preference.

Dear all,

Couldn't help myself this morning and did five of them. Also, the last of these from me (at least for a while).

With kind regards,
vovchik

@solo you picked a perfect Moorish color palette. I wouldn't want to change your choice of colors. Thank you so much.

@vovchik Is the Escher tessellation by himself or were you inspired and did a look-alike? I noticed that the patterns in even rows aren't exactly like the ones in odd rows. Just wondering if Escher did it that way.
I like the flowers and oriental tessellations best, just a matter of personal taste. Thank you very much.

I am posting this on behalf of esmourguit. He has fully internationalized wallmaker and bumped the version to 1.8.9.3:
