Thats a pretty unique and cool idea. :)

I like it. I can imagine it looking really slick if you use a sky wallpaper.

Nice Idea, but shouldn't be enabled by default

I don't remember ever hearing of anything like this before, +1 for wanting to make Ubuntu unique!

There is an old DOS game - Dune - where the sky and colors are changing according to the time of day. It's beautiful.

Actually, there is a dreamscapes thing done by the windowsblinds guys for vista that does it

In OSX, you can do it with quartz easily.

Its a good idea though.. so +1


I do have the feeling this is a dupe

Not a bad idea, but I'd rather see a new piece of software supporting "dynamic backgrounds", which would change gradually during the day.

For example having a sun move over your screen during the day, changing lightning and shadows on its way. Now *that* would be a nice desktop background ;)

A bit "Johnny Castaway"-ish.

Been default in Fedora for a while, so we can see how they've done it.
