In honor of the newly named dwarf planet Eris, I present two different
reflective chaos spheres over a double checkered plane. I don't like the
lighting on the glass one, but I have a lot to learn about photons.
I think that if it is going to stay as my desktop background, I need to
have the sphere reflecting the icons on my desktop.

This is very nice. Could become the planetary symbol of Eris.
I am curious: How would you make the icons reflect in the sphere? What comes
to mind to me is HDRI...

Nice to get icons reflected maybe you could try a desktop screenshot with a
green background that you get transparent in a image editor and map it on a
plane behind the camera

I'd never thought of reflecting the icons.
I did one use that method to have faint reflections of my face in the
shiny objects on the desktop image. So that when I looked at the
desktop, I could see myself reflected from those objects.

Took a screencap of the desktop with just bright pink as the background,
since some icons have blues and greens that seemed like a good color to
use. GIMP's color to alpha tool, then saved it as a png. Right now that
is mapped onto a cube just in front of the camera with no_image and
no_shadow. It still reflects as solid black though, I havn't messed
around with figuring out why.

So are you saying I should have it reflect an apple with kallisti
written on it?

Have you tried giving it a finish with ambient 1 and diffuse 0?
