Yep, I realize the bulb for the aquarium should go on at night. What I was thinking it could be like is for sunlight variation during the daytime (no idea what would be correct to do for nighttime variations... power brown/blackouts?), so sunrise would be golden colored lighting from one side, and reddened at sunset coming from the other side. Clouds passing overhead would cause shadows, thus periods of darkness (possibly settable as lots or little or fast or slow changes).
Of course the way automatic lighting looks now is fine enough for a screensaver. Now the static setting that doesn't change would mean the clock-based kind isn't such a terrible idea. The rippling light still moves the brightness around. And modern computer screens aren't susceptible to phosphor burn-in like they once were.
