Those little stars are randomly colored, spinning in random direction, at random speed. They fade out over five seconds, with new ones are popping in all the time. I’m pretty happy with my first attempt.
Update: Here’s a clip of the menu running on Youtube.

Happiness is a state of Being! Good luck with DBP. I have no idea what the game’s about but it looks interesting.
