[Kstars-devel] [PATCH] Prettier (?) stars

[Médéric Boquien]

Hello,

I have made a patch which modifies the aspect of stars in the "Classic" and 
"Moonless night" colour schemes. In summary, instead of drawing a coloured 
annulus around the central white circle, i use the change the saturation and 
the transparency in function of the radius, so it looks a bit more smooth and 
blends with the background. The attached patch is included if you want to play 
and if you find a better transfer function for the saturation and the 
transparency channels. Note, it is not 100% clean, and i do not expect it to 
be committed yet. For the most impatient, i have also included a screenshot.
What do you think of the new stars. Are they better? Worse? How could they be 
improved?

Thanks,

Médéric
