Product Description:

OSXplanet is a front-end to the popular program xplanet made in Cocoa and Objective-C. It is in its beta version. It replaces your desktop with a picture of earth showing where it is night and day. It also downloads the latest cloud maps and overlays it with the earth map.

Make sure you read the README (Which is now in the OSXplanet program and do all the things on it before reporting bugs! As of version 0.74, OSXplanet WILL work with the option "Change Picture" enabled.

OSXplanet CommentaryStill Not For Leopard - Version: 1.0.1, 8/4/2008 03:30AM PST

sounds good
Though OS X 10.5 Intel is listed under Operating System Requirements OSXplanet does not run.
On the OSXplanet Project Main Page the developer says it does not run under Leopard and he is working on a version that will. I enjoyed the product when I ran 10.4 but now running 10.5.2, Version 1.0.1 no longer works.

It was nicer than EarthDesk when it worked, but that was long ago.

Have tried to download from Version Tracker and the developer's website. All download links appear to be broken.
