A while ago, I gave a try drawing wallpapers[1], grub splash screen[2]
and grub template[3].
SVG are extremely convenient, because it is possible to automatically
generate XPM/PNG bitmaps of various size (!)
The next problem is to address different aspect ratio. I suppose there
are two solutions:
1. Designed the image so it can be tiled/cropped horizontally
(especially between 4/3 <-> 16/9)
2. Draw one "source" image per aspect ratio.
My 2¢
