Desktop Earth

Desktop Earth is a super easy program that gives you an interactive wallpaper of our planet, all based on your chosen time zone. Setting it up is a breeze, and it won’t take much of your time.

Easy Installation and Setup

After you finish the setup, Desktop Earth automatically changes your screen wallpaper and even creates a handy icon in the system tray. From there, you can tweak all the settings to make it just right for you.

Customize Your Experience

You can pick which time zone to focus on or just use your current one at different times like noon, midnight, sunrise, or sunset. Plus, there's an option to add clouds over the image for a cool effect!

Adjust Cloud Cover and More

If you're feeling creative, adjust how thick you want the clouds to be. You can also choose day and night images from drop-down menus—for example, you can automatically select images based on data or even city lights at night. Want black bars around your image? No problem! You can crop it however you need.

Perfect for Multi-Monitor Setups

The program lets you set how often the wallpaper updates too! And if you're using multiple monitors or just want a resizable background picture, Desktop Earth makes that easy.

Light on System Resources

No need to worry about heavy CPU or memory usage—this program runs smoothly without messing with other applications. It responds quickly and switches wallpapers right away without any annoying freezes or crashes. We’ve tested it thoroughly without running into issues!

A Fun Way to View Our Planet

The only downside? It hasn’t seen updates in quite some time. But despite that, Desktop Earth still offers a fun way to see a world map on your screen based on the time zone you're in.
