thenktor,
How is it too heavy? Is it just because everything is green, or because it's too light/dark, please try to explain it

I think becaue everything is more or less a single color and perhaps a bit to dark, too. It somehow does not look fresh and inviting.

Are you using Inkscape? If so, could you post the link to the svg? If you don't mind I'd like to play with it too & experiment with different shade of green & whirls & post them back here.
I like it

Akuna,
Yeah, I'm using Inkscape. I'll post the *.svg file, but it is on the other computer.

I kinda agree with you thenktor,
maybe mixing some other colors for a shading effect or something will make it more interesting

I like it !!
Yes, maybe mixing with another color could be good. What about bright white, like on the forum banner ?

Okay Kristho, I see I came to be using Salix well after you even offered this. I really like the appearance though. (Might be that lingering fondness for Linux Mint?) Looks like a well-fitting match to the banner heading this forum as well...

Definitely feeling the swirl
Just thought as we have a new flavor on the menu.
Found some Yerba Mate holly leaves might inspire you even more

PS.Incidentally the default wallpaper was one of the things that attracted me,i adore violets,and vivid primary colours,i guess i must still need a ball pit and some big thick crayons
