There are several apps like this, but for my money this is the most solid of the bunch. Beautiful and elegant. A nice, truly informative desktop and great learning device for kids.

I have repeatedly to rebuild the cities list and the other preferences.
Strange enough, sometime, just while browsing trough the preferences, it 'remembers' suddenly all (it happens even to me, probably an effect of my age, but OSXplanet is so much younger... ).
Naturally I thought that my 3 months old MBP could already be losing the memory so often and I rebuilt all directories and permission and all the possible other controls, inclusive the corruption of the preferences files, using also Ice Clean and OnyX, no results.
Any suggestion or explainations?

OSX Planet has earned a spot on my list of "essential" third-party software, along with things like Thunderbird and Flip4Mac. And now that v2.0 is finally out, I can enjoy it on my Leopard systems.
Try these settings (Under "OSX Planet Preferences..." General tab) for a practical, eyepopping desktop:
- View Planet: Earth
- With projection: Orthographic
- Centered On: Custom Coordinates
Latitude: 24
Longitude: -90
- Zoom: 50% (for a 1440x900 display)
- Rotate Axis: 23 degrees
- Image Quality: High
This puts the POV above the Gulf of Mexico, giving a nice view of North America. Be sure to enable Clouds and Cloud Data Retrieval under the Visuals tab.
