Hello,

I think it would be nice with a
POV Desktop Theme. I've got
suggestions about making graphics
for Reveal or Litestep instead
because they are more configurable.
I think that is a very good idea but
still I stick to the original idea
because not all people use these
interfaces(?). Not all people have
MS-plus! either but there are some
free programs on the net which will
let win95/98 users use desktop themes
without MS-plus!.

I've made some cursors already. They
are all made with POV-Ray except the
I-beam and the cross which I think
would be too annoying to have in POV
graphics. The 14 true color cursors
(three animated) are together 184 KB.
In which group should I post them if
anyone want them at all?

We still need wallpaper, a screensaver,
icons for recycle bin ect., and maybe
also sounds.

I think a great idea for the
screensaver would be the "You know you
have been raytracing too long..."
quotes displayed in a random order.
Does anyone want to make this? Maybe
someone with programming skills.

I have a .txt file with the quotes
changed so there are only line breaks
after each quote and so the authors
name is listed after each quote.
Just mail me if you want that file.

We also need some wallpaper. I think
the wallpaper should show the
interpretation of POV-Ray and of
course it must be made with POV-Ray
too. Anyone wants to make this?

I think it would be great if we
together could make this desktop theme
so if you wants to help with anything
just go ahead and do it and inform the
news group.

Any feedback are also appreciated

Thanks,

Rune S. Johansen
