Nice work but I'm inclined to agree with those that have already told you it's a bit busy. Would mate a good lock screen image though where there are no icons/widgets

I would suggest something more calm and epic, like this one (just general reference)

Looking forward to a Star Trek theme! I kinda like the idea of a 4-screen panoramic battle scene for the desktop, but I also think it might be too busy and might not work well with a bunch of icons and widgets. Space scenes with larger ships or planets like hopbeat suggested would probably work better, or even stylized faction logos (Federation, Romulan, etc). Examples:

i like the examples above and am looking forward to a star trek theme. I have installed the star trek type system sounds through app manager and they are cool. But the themes themselves didn't really work that well for the N900 so am looking forward to something specifically for the N900.

Desktop Screenshots will be up tonight.
Personally, I agree the background is too busy. For my old LCARS themes, I tried to make wallpapers that looked like something you might see on the computers on the show... i.e. more diagrammatic. Here are a ton of examples of graphics from the shows/movies. Here's an image from Michael Okuda's portfolio (the graphic designer who created LCARS).
The static/non-animated panels (i.e. most of the computers in the shows) were actually color gels cut into various shapes and lit from behind. Thus, most of the graphics consist of solid-color cells and lines, usually separated by some black space.
edit: Also, if you're going to have a bunch of ships in a battle, it looks kind of odd to have them all firing simultaneously.

Either way my point is that the darker the theme, the more annoying it gets in direct sunlight.
