Hello everyone, Right now I'm testing the first link Dana proposed and I could say It's just brilliant. It works and the CPU is near zero % (it may use the GPU). The transition from the one to the other image goes smoothly like this img1:90%, img2:10% ; img1:80%, img2:20% and so on. Thus when transitioning from sunset to midnight the image goes from pure gradient to gradient with slowly appearing stars and then colors changing. It's beautiful. But there is one problem here - it is probably made for another time of the year and the sunset is "coming" when outside is light (I suppose we could fix this with proper time intervals and a tool that modifies the files each month or so). Another interesting idea I had today is that we can change the perspective of the pictures and thus having smth like a virtual walk in the jungle for example :) Anton -- ubuntu-art mailing list ubuntu-art@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
