this was created using Desktop Earth a free program that changes the day/night lighting over the flat globe at preset times, it also updates the cloud coverage. I have added several vista gadget clock to track times in different regions of the world. I have the vista weather gadget to give me local weather.
I like this desktop, it is free, it does not slow down startup, and hardly noticable increased CPU use or temp in either AC or bat mode.

Love it! Currently beeing used as wallpaper on my dual screen setup. Looks great.
One good thing is that the only thing that is updated from the web, is the cloud cover. The rest is just simulated.

Really nice, I went and got the desktop myself straight away.
I am such a Fan of these earth and globe desktops, thanks for the hint.
Only thing I miss are the times of the Capitals.

I found that the application to create this desktop leaked RAM like no tomorrow when I tried it on my dual-screen desktop. That was a while ago though, has it been fixed since?

Of course I have noticed you have the clocks
, what I meant is that I don't see a way for myself to implement them, since I've not got round to trying Vista yet. Sorry for any missunderstanding.
