     twilight -	twilight sky screen background

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     twilight

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     twilight is a screen background (root window) that	looks like the western
     sky as the	sun sets (or perhaps the eastern sky as	the sun	rises).	 The
     screen background is smoothly shaded from deep black to azure to orange,
     and is topped with	random stars and constellations.

     twilight renders using the	GL into	an imakebackground window.  The	range
     of	colors is achieved by drawing two Gouraud shaded rectangles.  The
     stars are simply random patterns of dots, colored so that they blend with
     the sky color as they approach the	horizon.

NOTE    [Toc]    [Back]

     On	machines which do not support Gouraud shading in RGB mode, the
     background	is drawn as a solid azure.
