I am aware that ringed planets do not have a glow. I have not yet decided on the thickness of glows. Any comments related to glow colors and such would be appreciated.

Beta 4 version history:
1. Changed - Reduced size of StarGlow.bmp texture by 75%.
2. Removed - Skybox pictures are no longer used. System backgrounds will now always consist solely of stars.
3. Added - New swirly Warp Point graphics, courtesy of Suicide Junkie.
4. Added - Atmosphere effects to planets (save None). Each planet has a star glow effect with color based on atmosphere type. Ringed planets do not yet have a glow.

Please note that this is a work in progress. There are bound to be quirks, which you should report. All suggestions for improvement are welcome!

Hey, with the system backgrounds, is there any way to make the nebula systems have nebulas in the background, but not the other systems?

I don't think so. They do not appear to be associated with the chance type settings, unfortunately.
