<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Before I could get a screenshot my local neon install kinda flaked out. So I've provided a link to the defocused and dimmed background image. I'm hoping someone can try it out locally before I commit. It replaces the background.png file in lookandfeel/contents/components/artwork and lookandfeel/contents/splash/images.<br>
