Folks, you've really got to see this one to believe it. EarthDesk replaces your wallpaper with a stunning, dynamic image of our planet. With an internet connection, EarthDesk displays near real-time global cloud cover, allowing users to track hurricanes and typhoons, or simply admire our beautiful planet. User options allow you to adjust the overall transparency of the cloud layer.

EarthDesk also sports an accurate rendering of moonlight on the Living Earth satellite map. To create this stunning effect, the phase of the moon and reflectiveness of the Earth's surface are used to determine correct coloring of the image, ensuring a realistic view of the Earth from space.

EarthDesk gives you numerous options for configuring map images on your desktop. Maps can be centered on a city so that the map remains stationary while the sun and moon move. Alternatively, the map center may be locked to the position of the sun or moon so that the shadow remains fixed while the map moves.

With support for multiple projections and multiple monitors, EarthDesk's wide variety of map projections gives you complete control over the maps on your desktop.

Looking for an even more beautiful EarthDesk experience? Purchase the optional Cloud Service from Xeric and increase the cloud resolution density from 8 to a spectacular 18 megapixels!
