Aurora gradient backgrounds

Aurora turns your colors into tall curtains of light that sway and shimmer, then fade out toward the bottom of the frame. A dark background suits it best.

Curtain width sets how many curtains fit across. Vertical fade sets how far down the light reaches, and shimmer adds the flicker.
