I have just released the initial revision of the new wallpaper capplet that I have been working on in my spare time, and has been under discussion on gnome-themes-list. This initial release is quite featureful, yet it is still missing the "random" feature that was in my mock up, as well as some other features and functionality that are outlined in the TODO file that is included in the tarball. The main feature is the storage of meta-data and the list of available wallpapers, in an XML file in ~/.gnome2/. For each individual image, the filename, a descriptive name, image scaling type, background color type, and background colors are all stored. There is no DTD yet, but one will be written for the next release. Also left to do, is to write the logic for detecting if the image is a tile or should be scaled or what. It currently detects most tiled images already though, on the basis of height vs. width. If they are the same, Tiled is automatically selected. I'm also proposing that we replace the current capplet(s) with this one for GNOME 2.6.
