What is Sahara?
"Sahara" is a Google Chrome extension that transforms your browser with an Arabian Nights themed backdrop. Created using a compilation of personal photos taken in the deserts of Morocco, it features striking visuals of the Sahara at night with a star-filled sky from the milky way, a caravan of camels, and a small village. The toolbar incorporates a decorative gate from the medina of Casablanca. The extension aims to immerse users into the magical and exotic atmosphere of a night in the Sahara.

Summary

This theme is made of a lot of photos. Together it makes a picture of the sahara at night with the milky way in the sky. In the middle you can see a caravan with camels riding towards the small desert village to the right. I tried to create a 1001 arabian nights atmosphere.

Some of the photos are made by me in Morocco, the milky way is made by my father. One of his hobbies is to make pictures of the stars. The toolbar is made out of a photo from Casablanca; one of the gates in the medina has this decoration. Enjoy!

Update 2.0: The first version was made out of a picture I took somewhere around the Atlas mountains. However, that theme was made in 5 minutes and I didn't like it very much. As I just came back from another journey to Morocco I wanted to use a theme featuring that country for myself. So with the new version I actually remade the entire theme.
