In case someone is wondering what the UberPOV icon is supposed to
represent, here's a large version of it. It was originally designed to
replace the splash screen, but obviously there's nothing to replace
there anymore.
The proper spelling in German would be ÜberPOV (note the umlaut); in
some decorative fonts, particularly in logos, the umlaut-dots of the
uppercase Ü aren't placed above the U horizontally, but one atop the
other inside the U. Thus, the image could be a rendition of the first
character of the program's name.
The logo is also an homage to POV-Ray, as the crescent and "sun" are
taken directly from the POV-Ray logo. The cone is replaced with another
sphere though.
The crescent and "planet" use highly translucent SSLT; the "corona" of
the "sun" is some surprisingly simple emissive media, based on a bozo
pigment with black hole warp, combined with a radius function into a
function pigment.

This finally reveals the choice of the name. I ever guessed that there are two
dots missing. Good work. For the moment I had only the opportunity to run some
of your examples. My main interest in UberPOV is the readln-feature as you may
guess from older postings.
BTW Your Windows-exe-archive contains a dll with is already shipped with POV
3.7. Your dll is smaller. Is this intended as a replacement?
Best regards,
Michael

That feature was inspired by some postings somewhere on these
newsgroups, so you might actually be reaping what you sowed :-)

No, to the contrary - I just happen to have packed them along because
the build process spit them out. They don't give any benefit over the
official POV-Ray 3.7 DLLs, so it is discouraged to replace them.

The logo it's nice, but it resembles a little the Eye of Sauron on the
tower of Barad-Dûr as shown in the Peter Jackson films...
