Magic Window shows complete time lapse sunrises and sunsets as your wallpaper. Watch as time slowly moves by and the sun and clouds paint the skies beautiful colors. These are living pictures that progress slowly and are not distracting like video.
The accompanying screensaver lets you watch the Timelapse scenes at faster speeds. Perfect for flat panels and external displays, your friends and co-workers will gawk at your beautiful and amazing desktop.

What's New
Version 1.2:
14 NEW SCENES for 40 TOTAL - All included
Scenes from Germany (4), Italy (2), Switzerland (1), and the UK (1)
Added ability to download and delete individual scenes
I took a look at the developer's website and watched the video and it looks pretty compelling. I think it shows enough of what it'll do to make me almost get this. But, if it's crashing like crazy or has other bugs I have no idea.
As always, we'd love it if developers who use the App Store would take a cue from other programmers, like Russell over at SweetP Productions (Cookie), and provide a demo which can be downloaded at the developers site, for trial, prior to purchase.
Mac developers have been doing this with their wares for some fifteen plus years, with great success I might add.
I know you guys are feeling the pinch in sales, because I have many developers confide this to me.
Take the hint: provide a test drive, before asking us to buy the car.

Magic Window shows complete time lapse sunrises and sunsets as your wallpaper. Watch as time slowly moves by and the sun and clouds paint the skies beautiful colors. These are living pictures that progress slowly and are not distracting like video.
The accompanying screensaver lets you watch the Timelapse scenes at faster speeds. Perfect for flat panels and external displays, your friends and co-workers will gawk at your beautiful and amazing desktop.
Created by the same team that brought you Magic Window for iPad and iPhone, the Mac version takes a completely new approach by bringing Timelapses directly to your desktop. We have included some of our absolute best photography including beaches, cities, coasts, and more for you to enjoy while you work or relax at home.
Magic Window for Mac scenes are 1920x1200 resolution which looks fantastic on every single Mac as well as HD displays. These are truly high definition wallpapers, not stretched low resolution videos. Magic Window also fully supports multiple monitors, allowing you to have different scenes on each display.
Magic Window offers a variety of speeds that let you control how much CPU it consumes. On the slowest speed Magic Window can consume less than 1% CPU, leaving your Mac free to focus on other tasks.
This version includes 20 scenes: 5 are built into the app, and 15 are downloaded after you install the app. We use scene downloads so we can bring you more and more scenes without making the app larger and larger. Updates will include additional scenes.
Each scene contains over 1,000 photographs.

Arroyo Seco Parkway, Los Angeles
Boston Logan Airport
Chicago Skyline
Glen Lake Sunset, Montana
