So I decided to start making wallpapers which would be similar to the ones at Simple Desktops (where I also planned to upload them later).
The first image I finished and was happy with was this one, Sverige (Sweden). It portraits a Swedish flag on a flag pole, I made it for the Swedish national day which is the day after tomorrow (June 6).
I wrote the image in SVG (which I think is an interesting file format and since I’m familiar with xml it wasn’t that difficult), but I used GIMP to convert it to PNG. The image has the dimensions: 2,560 px x 1,600 px (which is the size images should be on Simple Desktops).
I release the image and the source code under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License, so feel free to download it and edit it! (The source code and links are available bellow!)
