This program was originally inspired by xplanetconfig, a german project, and some ideas around the net about xplanet. The project xplanetconfig has some more features in settings compared to the limitations of xplanetFX, try it if you prefer other constellations rather than the earth in HQ with themeing and GUI.
Another inspiration was the documentary “Global Brain” by Peter Russel [de] [en] every human being should have watched.
