The recent releases of GNOME 3 have shipped with a default wallpaper 
that changes in intensity and luminosity depending on the time of day.
I think this would also work well with the "purple salad" wallpaper that 
has been default for several releases now. It's a really nice effect, 
the gradual changing of the wallpaper and the chamelonic mean tone used 
by unity makes the desktop feel "alive", it's a marvelous effect.

Seeing a combination of this and the gradual morphing of the background 
over releases would be a perfect aesthetic expression of what Ubuntu is; 
alive, organic, and ever-evolving.

What do you think?
