Hi Yann,

Thanks! I would not mind at all if this found its way as a default
alternative wallpaper (personally I find it way more interesting than
most of the time-lapsed wallpapers out there), although I think anything
new deserves that spot more. (Dawn of Ubuntu has already been featured,
I believe in Dapper). Still, if someone sees the need or an open spot
and wants to push the idea, go right ahead! Just keep in mind that the
associated artists (listed in the Readme) should probably be contacted
to confirm that sort of distribution.

One other issue is that the current wallpaper slideshow system has us
define an arbitrary date for when the slideshow begins. That does not
have a good effect in our case as time goes on, since it gradually gets
out of sync with my intentions. Really, that needs to be fixed before
this sort of effect can work well.

I agree about the bluish thing. I suppose that is because noon uses very
light colours for effect. A bright blue sky sort of background could do
the trick, if someone feels up to it!

Bye,
-Dylan
