boost your code || Fold With Us! || sighist | doxygenI use this[^]. It's not free, but can update the image periodically, showing current night/day zones, including lights in the night areas. It can also show the time in various places on the map. I quite like it :)

boost your code || Fold With Us! || sighist | doxygenIt's not Earth, but I used to use the program Phoon (short for phase of the moon, port of the X app xphoon) that generates an accurate picture of the moon and sets it as your background.

I just wish there were globe images taken over Europe. Anyway, the globe images fits the standard XP theme very well. It also gives an eerie feeling of falling to the earth. I suppose this is what the whale in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy saw... :) -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben. Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben. I blog too now[^]

Aaah! Thank you very much. I didn't understand it was an application. This'll keep me entertained for a while! :) -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben. Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben. I blog too now[^]
