Well, I am not that thrilled about the background reflecting the color
ot the sky and changing it often, but I have a related long-term idea:
if/when we will have a mascot, have the wallpaper showing the mascot in
some action reflecting the current time: at night he will sleep (or will
be very tired, with big, red eyes), at lunch time he will be eating, in
the morning be upset for having to wake-up and so on (that would look
marvelous with a cron-like config, to keep track of week days, alternate
schedule for week-ends etc.)
Absolute crack: it may take the date from something like the about-me
applet and show something special on your birth day.
