Point taken. May I ask what you do not like about it? I am really
curious to know, because I really think it is a very useful graphic
element that fits very well in the overall attempt to make the theme
unmistakably distinctive.

WRT user-submitted screenshots section, I think there is something in
the works separately that will address this and other Haiku related artwork.
With regards to the screenshots, I have not given much thought about it
yet. Perhaps a slideshow of some kind.
Thanks for the input! Cheers,
