10.5: Partially tame Time Machine's warping background

Update:

I opened up the following files in photoshop and filled them with solid black.

HyperBlueStar.tiff
HyperRedStar.tiff
HyperWhiteStar.tiff
HyperYellowStar.tiff
NormalBlueStar.tiff
NormalRedStar.tiff
NormalWhiteStar.tiff
NormalYellowStar.tiff
sun.tiff

This turned the entire screen black with the animated cloud swirl in the background. Only the cloud animation without the stars is not distracting and much more subtle. I like it a whole lot better.
