I kind of have an interesting idea for a theme. I'm thinking the page could be like the blade of the moonlight sword itself. And down near the footer it would start to come to a point, but would stop at the bottom of the page before getting too pointed. The stuff of the blade could be a repeating background image, either a single semi-transparent pixel or a repeating texture. And the slow taper of the blade could be defined by an infinitely tall image that is just a black mask (so to help it load fast) that would get wider towards the top of the screen depending on how tall the page is.
I think a cool background might be one that is a fixed 3D grid like in Phantasy Star two receding into the distance. Something like Geara's lair in KF2 only maybe more abstract.
If all of that worked, I even have this crazy idea of using overlays to make it look like the content of the page is reflected around in the background like a crystal. So the effect would be a couple after images of the webpage in the background. I've never seen a page like that, but it would not be so hard to do I think.
