I will recognize those always. NetPositive error haiku from BeOS.
If I may be so bold:

Though it lies dormant
BeBox lies in my closet
Relic of ages past

@Atrexian looks awesome, but do you have a version without the arch logo up top? it's very disturbing that way, especially as you have already incorperated it in the image (in the form of mountains)

@jl2: Please reword your criticism to be both more descriptive and more constructive. "Very disturbing" sounds very negative. How is a finely crafted wallpaper disturbing you?

If I'm correct in guessing English may not be your first language, then I'm sure you did not mean any offense.

Disturb \Dis*turb"\, v. t. [imp. & p. p. {Disturbed}; p. pr. &
vb. n. {Disturbing}.] [OE. desturben, destourben, OF.
destorber, desturber, destourber, fr. L. disturbare,
disturbatum; dis- + turbare to disturb, trouble, turba
disorder, tumult, crowd. See {Turbid}.]
1. To throw into disorder or confusion; to derange; to
interrupt the settled state of; to excite from a state of
rest.
[1913 Webster]

The image has a visible light source and matching, prominent shadows.
The Arch logo has a drop shadow that'd be caused by a theoretical light source in almost the straight opposite direction.
Your brain tells notices that this is bullshit and the scenery just gets obstructed by some watermark.

A finely crafted wallpaper is not disturbing me unless there is a very big Arch Linux logo simply covering up a lot of it.
You literally did this, but far more disturbing.

Again, the criticism was really only for the Watermark. I'd like to have and possibly use the wallpaper without the vignette because it looks great and is indeed a finely crafted wallpaper.

edit: I thought I saw a guideline for not just blindly adding a Arch logo on top, but instead to incorporate it into the image. @seth you always know were stuff is ...

To disturb something has one possible meaning of interrupting something, perhaps in a distracting way, as in "it is disturbing the peace". That's the transitive use. There is an intransitive use of "disturbing", meaning something is unsettling or upsetting, that goes beyond the thing being not very aesthetically pleasing.

This probably violates some adobe copyrights, so don't redistribute it…
