Is it just me, or are these unattractively low res?

No that's definitely not just you. I meant to update those, and will push that change up soon.

Probably default to 2560 x 1440 until it is customizable. Thoughts?

Absolutely. The current 1192x580 is far too low, especially for the backgrounds with thin lines like "Particles".

By the way, the Particles backgrounds get slower and slower every time I choose a different color scheme. It seems to be calling updateEdges / drawEdge N times per frame, where N is the number of color schemes you've viewed.

Looks beautiful, though. I'll definitely be checking back for high res versions.
