F37 Wallpaper / 1940s Vintage Concept

The inspiration for the Fedora 37 default background wallpaper is Hedy Lamarr, who invented a way for radio signals to hop frequencies to avoid being intercepted/interfered with. Her work was foundational technology for technologies we use today such as Bluetooth and Wifi.

The 1940s Vintage concept relates to the time and aesthetic during which Hedy created this invention; think chrome knobs and radio towers.

Please post ideas, sketches, thumbnails, mockups that relate to this concept under this thread. :slight_smile:

For the vintage, I was thinking of an old school heavy wooden desk with ideas written on paper (maybe include Hedy’s patent diagram?). A radio could be added to the desk also. The wall is decorated with 1940s style wallpaper.

I love this vibe! You could add a window to add a little more depth and maybe have radio towers visible?
