Luminous Config?

[Ttech]

Hi,
I was wondering how you got your header on the Transcendence site to look so good (the galaxy ) your does not have the strange looking dark smudges on the inside of each arm. Its blended in. How do you do that? Do you have the settings file? OR if anyone else knows that would be great. Thanks...

Those dark lines are called "Major Arm Dust." Just crank that down low and you should get a cooler effect. However, I would wager that the header was touched up in a graphic editing program, like Gimp or Photoshop.

I've added the config file that I used.

Mostly, I think that turning down the brightness of the major arms helps. I set Arm Brightness to 0.5.

I did do some post-processing in Photoshop, but only to fix some of the stars.

Good luck!

That should help. I appreciate it.
Thanks... I thought that it was the "dark" arms.
