This is gui-mui client on MorphOS. Gradients are part of MUI toolkit and 
have nothing to do with Freeciv but with very few effects Freeciv could 
look more like a game.

I remember Civ2 on Mac had background patterns in its Windows... Very 
small change but gives atmosphere and you dont get datasheet feeling 
anymore.

Btw in this screenshot there is scrolling starfield animation behind 
Freeciv globe. Actually, looks quite good and I've thought adding similar 
effect to the spaceship dialog.
