An alternative to a static desktop picture - Install a self-updating time-zone map of the earth with day, night, twilight and city lights. The map updates automatically as the world turns. High resolution maps and graphics are individually crafted for 16 different monitor sizes from 800 x 600 all the way up to 2560 x 1600 pixels (The new Apple 30 inch display). While you work or while you leave your computer just sitting there, the newest desk picture keeps slipping behind your icons as often as you choose. The process repeats every time the earth rotates one pixel on your screen. Program operation is time-sliced in order to avoid interruptions of your work. The dock icon menu lets you highlight time zones to find the time at any worldwide location. If you are using two monitors, Live Deskpicture X works with either one or both.
What is new in this release:
- Increased the number of annual time zone map transitions from 2 per year to 21, to be less USA-centric and more closely reflect reality as DST begins and ends in various countries around the world.
- Pre-loaded the program with time zone maps through Dec 31, 2008.
- Updated DST rules for USA/Canada, Western Australia, Uruguay, Kazakhstan, Tunisia
- Added support for 1280x800 and 1440x960 monitor sizes.
- Tested for compatibility under Rosetta emulation mode on Intel Mac. No issues found. Launch and response times were found to be slightly faster on a 2.17 MHz Intel Core Duo-based MacBook Pro than on a PowerPC-based 1.67 MHz G4 PowerBook.
