Which reminds me, I really liked the third banner available for Alpha
Release [1], would you be able to do a wallpaper using this styling? I
especially like the blueish halo and strong transition between the "sea"
and the "sky".

Well, I noticed it as well, and I like the grey version a lot, but I
guess I could not get used much to such colours. I prefer more saturated
ones, the grey feels a little depressing, like if it was a sea/sky on
some distant inhabited planet composed mostly of lava-like surface. But
don't care about me, I'm probably the only one with this feeling
anyway :-D 

And some technical comment, grey gradients tend to not look smooth on
weaker/older/cheap lcd displays, while saturated ones are usually
better...
