Did I ever show off my effort to make an animated aurora desktop image? I never got the animation to really look like i wanted. I tried to get two auroral curtains to ripple in the desktop background in the same way they actually do in the sky overhead. http://jspaleta.fedorapeople.org/animated-aurora/abstract-aurora.png I'm not suggesting that this should be a theme, but I like the idea of trying to capture that sort of motion on the desktop. What i really really really want is enough flexibility in the animation stuff to be able to programmatically draw svgs as the desktop image based on actual geophysical/weather data so I can re-implement a visual art installation on the desktop similar in nature to the museum installation called The Place Where You Go To Listen[1], except using desktop visual elements instead of sound. I'd like to turn the desktop image into an active abstract display of geophysical activity. When I was last playing with the animated aurora, the desktop animation process didn't like transitioning svg's smoothly.
