A downloadable tool for Windows, macOS, and Linux

"So much universe and so little time" - Terry Pratchett

Ever felt so small in comparison to the boundless cosmos? Ever felt down because of how much there is out there that we will never live to see? Well, we mightn't be able to go all the way to that beautiful galaxy up there in the sky, but we might as well imagine. What better way to do that than desktop backgrounds? This little tool lets you make cosmic desktop backgrounds, with planets or stars.

TUTORIAL: 

for planets, the surface can be customised on the left side of the UI. the colour pickers pick the layers of colour, their accompanying sliders decide what level the colour should be generated at. Bump maps add texture to the planet. The rest is pretty intuitive, so ENJOY!
