For those who are seriously concerned about how their windows (or Mac) desktop looks, here is a good, high resolution, dynamic desktop wallpaper. Sure it will take more RAM than having a static image as background but it would not be a colossal amount.
EarthDesk replaces your static wallpaper with a high-resolution rendered image of Earth showing current sun, moon and city illumination as well as real-time cloud coverage. EarthDesk replaces your desktop picture wallpaper with a stunning dynamic image of our planet continuously updating in the background while you work.
