Background
Nocturne Drift
Background for the Xenon dashboard, by Xenon
A calm animated backdrop: slow sage glows drifting over a near-black wash with a faint twinkling starfield. Bounded and quiet, it stays out of the way.

What a background does
A background replaces the dashboard's backdrop with an animated scene that draws behind your tiles. It runs locally on your own machine, with no video file to download.
