Hi Lars . . .

Yes. Colors will never display the same on any 2 monitors. I came to
this realization when I first started designing websites 20 years ago
and gave up trying.

All the files that need to be altered are here:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/art/graphics/chimaera-deepsea

And the HOW-TO is here:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/art/graphics/theming-devuan.md

The process begins with selection of the "base colors" of the Desktop
wallpaper. The Clearlooks-Phenix-* theme. The rest of the pieces cannot
be created until that color palette has been chosen and finalized:
https://git.devuan.org/devuan/documentation/src/branch/master/art/graphics/chimaera-deepsea/backgrounds

What color does the story of Daedalus (and his son Icarus) evoke in your
mind? I think of searing Mediterranean sun and intensely blue water.
Play with it and see what pops up.

Any questions. Just ask. :)

Enjoy the journey!
