[...] I need some ideas. [...]
Well, I always get inspired by some of the Enlightment Window Manager
Themes. Check out Ben's page at
http://www.cuddletech.com/e17 to see some
"neat" screenshots. The stuff on that page is historical, and the ray traced
planet theme I created might be a guide of what not to do or embolden you to
experiment with some very original colors, etc. Unfortunately the conversion from
PNG to JPEG removed the detail necessary to "justify" those colors.
Keep in mind, that at the time I was in the middle of trying to get a "sun" to look
near-realistic, and I was toying with different color planet surfaces. The color
of the surface is not indicative of my tastes! I think I coded the surface color as
white, but it picked up that unrealistic hue from the "sun"...
EDIT: I removed my "ugly" inline desktop screenshot screenshot, it was
cluttering this thread in many ways.
