I'll create a certain pattern for ENABL. This'll switch off a certain #
of stars, so the stars background will look almost randomized. At least
you won't recognize those diagonals anymore. When moving vertically,
I'll just shift the offset of my pattern synchronized, so it looks like
the complete stars background is moving like a solid block. I hope I'll
get it done tonight, so you can see it.

Just wait and see. I doubt you'll still think there's not enough stars
onscreen then ;-)
