In every Ubuntu development cycle, the implemented-by-default wallpapers are gathered from two sources: on one hand, there is the submission contest, where creative artists submit images to a dedicated Flickr pool, on the other hand, there is the default wallpaper.
The **Ubuntu designer Mika Meskanen** shared on [Twitter][1] an interesting variation of Ubuntu 13.10's default wallpaper, filtering the Saucy's default wall through a more sober metallic feel.
Labeled as "Aqua Graphite", the wall shifts the default Saucy wallpaper's colors to gray-to-blue colors, being a pleasant addition to the vivid orange-to-red Saucy default background.
Along with imprinting a cold static feel to the desktop, the Aqua Graphite wallpaper pushes a blue color into the Dash, thus being suitable for users preferring blue colors.
