Just FYI: You have at most 5 minutes to cancel a post to prevent it from 
becoming visible for me (because i suck news every 5 minutes). ;-)

I find it a fairly good concept.  You can have any number of internal 
background patterns and the user has easy access to them without need to 
handle a separate file for each of them.  The background image 
reading/generation would be in the general code (in unix.cpp) and the 
different display modes would simply access them with some function.
