the original galaxy code coloured each galaxy differently, i had it
(for opengl) with colors based on galaxy of origin and speed, but it didn't
look as nice as i expected.

if you're interested i can suggest looking at the xscreensaver code (the
original) for coloring ideas.

i admit, i haven't seen your modifications yet, so i can't comment on them --
for all i know they're probably better than the xscreensaver ones :)
