Would love to haveIE . I could produce one at up to 1000x1000 pixels, but I doubt any PC is capable of animating that at 40fps....and yes DL no problem on a T1 server and yes could run at up to 60-80 frames,at the high resolution,,,, Glenn ,,,nice to watch spinning around LOL,,good Job indeed,,,,,

Will,
Thanks for looking into doing the lights globe.
I see your point about losing the detail when it's reduced in size.

For everyone that asked for the moon, check out "LunaVista" or "Phase of the Moon" now available at https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?authorid=47869. Not only do they show you the actual phase of the moon each night, but LunaVista is animated with the same quality as this object. Enjoy!

Mo619, the answer is no. The GIF format does not provide the required alpha channel. This animation cannot be properly rendered in that format.

Jamesu1: Resizing the image isn't a function of the object, it's a function of DesktopX. If you think you're getting graphic corruption when DX resizes the object, you should talk to Stardock support. They can also point you to the documentation which will teach you how to make shortcuts.

9!
Does anyone remember the good old rotating globe for OS/2?
Because you have 240 images, it's easy to slow it down to 10 images/hour. The only thing missing to actually represent "current earth position" would be to start the rotation on image X, where x is the PC time HHMM / 10
That would be the ultimate earth object!

"Earth's current position" only has meaning if you say "as viewed from this spot". Every frame in the animation is always the correct image as viewed from somewhere...

Incredible! 
I clicked on 5 stars, but I can never tell if that rating thing is working. I can tell just from the number of comments and suggestions that people are inspired by your work.

Exodia, because as downloaded, this object does nothing except look pretty, as it says in the description. If you want it to be a shortcut for anything, just make it into one using normal DesktopX methods: Make it an "Object of Type: Shortcut" in the properties dialog. That process is described in the DX documentation... Enjoy.

I would be _VERY_ interested in getting a larger version of this, something around the 480 pixel size, and if possible permission to use it in a DX theme i'm doing. If I can't get the permission i'd still love to get the larger version for my own use if possible

_Mabey_ (but I doubt it the original of this is high res, it's the shrinking that kills) with a higher quality source image the situation would improve, but I haven't seen one that's suitable.
