This stylesheet replaces the background of blank tabs and windows with a repeating animated GIF of a glittering, starry sky, in the antiquated style of an amateur homepage from 1997. The image is stored inline as a data URI, so it doesn't rely on a server.
The image is shamelessly pilfered from Olia Lialina's exceptional 'Vernacular Web 2' article: <http://www.contemporary-home-computing.org/vernacular-web-2/>
As you can see, the image below isn't really a screenshot; it's just the animated GIF itself. If you need help imagining the effect before downloading this style, just picture it with a status bar underneath, a tab bar above, and a scrollbar to the right.
I hope you do not find the stars too big or the glittering too fast!

Too big stars, too fast glittering, too many glittering in one time. Look's like "the hell copypaste" and nonsense.
