OpenRiot v6.10 — New Canvas
“The wallpaper is the first thing you see and the last thing you notice.” — every desktop ricer, eventually
Release Overview
v6.10 replaces the entire OpenRiot desktop background collection.
Twenty-one new images ship as 01.png through 21.png, replacing the
previous set. All are 1920x1080 or higher, dark-theme compatible, and
selected to work with OpenRiot’s purple-cyan polybar palette.
No code changes. No new features. Just new walls.
🖼️ New Backgrounds
The old collection had accumulated duplicates, mismatched aspect ratios, and images that clashed with the dark UI. The new set is cohesive, curated, and consistently sized.
- 21 images (was 29 — duplicates and low-quality files removed)
- Sequential numbering —
01.pngthrough21.png - Dark-theme compatible — all work with the default i3/polybar scheme
Cycle with Super + W (next) and Super + Shift + W (previous).
