Are you planning on fixing the camera movement in the about box easter egg?
Right now, as I move my mouse from the bottom to the top of the screen, the
logo tilts backwards from vertical to horizontal and immediately snaps back
to vertical, then repeats this again. Not only is this very strange, it also
limits the vertical rotation to 0-90 degrees. The light movement has a
similar limitation.

It is intended that the vertical movement is limited to 90 degrees (there is
going to be a background plane is the future).  It should not snap back
however.
