Product Description:

SubRosaSoft DesktopEarth downloads real time global cloud maps, then superimposes them on the map of your choice (political, geographic, elevation etc...) and sets it as your desktop picture.
If left running it will update this map every 3 hours.
A fascinating toy and useful tool.
You can now select whether the map is placed on the desktop in letterbox format - or if fills the screen. If you choose letterbox format you can now select a colour (instead of just black) to trim the image with.

What's new in this version:

Added a caption to show when the map was last updated, and another to show where the map was centered on (eg; 179 degrees east). Changed some of the code to give better fault tolerance on the map downloading and the popup menu for changing maps.
