EarthDesk – Mac/Windows Desktop Wallpaper

In:
Tags:

Ever spend hours trying to find “just the right” wallpaper to accommodate your personality? Well I think I found one to tickle my fascination with astronomy.

EarthDesk, a product by Xeric Design, replaces the desktop picture on a Mac or Windows desktop with a dynamic image of planet Earth. This image is updated on a regular interval to reflect cloud patterns, day/night, moonlight shading, city lighting, etc. It also comes with support for multiple displays, different map projections, and a whole plethora of features which you’ll probably never use. :-)

Maybe I’m weird, but after having this wallpaper for a whole day, I’ve realized how beautiful our planet really is. :-)

I took a screenshot of my desktop just after 10:00 PM local time (nighttime), so you can see America’s major cities illuminating the darkness.

      Wow Rizwana, I actually have no experience with installing bezels. You may have to contact a professional (ie, Genius Bar) to help guide you so you don’t accidentally damage anything. :-D Good luck!

      Thanks Michelle! And how dare Akismet mark your comment as spam!! I’m in such a habit of pressing the “delete spam” button to delete everything in my spam quarantine, but I’m glad I saw your name. :-D
