Here are two pictures of my viv. I have cut a black shower curtain for my background which is around the back outside of the viv. I also have black aspen bedding. You may see a bit of purple(I had calci sand in the beginning but switched to aspen) I left the sand so I can regulate the UTH temps better. As they grow larger I am going to have to get a wider tank for them. This one I had for my Veiled chameleon Vessili RIP. They are both roughly 6 months old.

I'm still brainstorming, but I think it would be neat.
You've probably already considered this, but there are some very sharp places on circuit boards and I would also be concerned about the effect of the humidity on the metal. I'm not sure if the metals are harmful, especially if they are oxidizing or corroding and chemicals leech off.

Maybe there would be a way to seal them against humidity.

Put a piece of plexi in front of any circut boards for a background, then use a gutted computer or something with silicone caulk on any sharp areas for a hide. Or get EL wire and LEDs and glue a car with wings up the side of the tank for futuristic.

You could probably seal the circuit boards and parts with a thick layer of marine epoxy. It would smoothen the sharp edges and make the bits 100% waterproof.

Constellations would be an interesting theme. Serpens, the snake constellations, are particularly awesome. Apparently it's the only constellation that is distinctly 2 parts (head and tail), separated by Ophiuchus (the handler), complete with the star Unukalhai (serpens' heart).

In the process of trying to find images of the serpens constellation, I came across this flower, which I really wish existed in the silk variety: Agapetes Serpens . (If anyone finds such, please do let me know). Small red trumpet shaped flowers would work really well along the top/back of a viv or underside of decorative bridges. Alas.

These are awesome ideas. We've only had our little girl for 3 weeks, so her viv is pretty bland. Since my son is crazy about dinosaurs, I'm thinking of doing a prehistoric theme....still brain storming ideas though.
