Be careful if you're thinking of downloading. I just installed it, and it looked great for a while. Didn't justify the $25, but worked as part of the bundle.
The clouds recently stopped being displayed in HD, and they look terrible in SD. Apparently the person that used to prepare the HD clouds for free is now charging, and Xeric are planning to charge $12 per year for the clouds alone.
Now looks like the cloud service has been released for $10 per year. I understand the costs involved, but this is simply too high to justify for a background, beautiful though it may be.
I would have preferred a tiered offering, where you could update maybe 4 times per day for $5, 8 times for $10 and maybe 24 times for $15 or something like that. Not everyone wants their clouds to be updated that often, but some do.
Given that I've already paid for the background, I'll be keeping that until I can find a cheaper alternative with clouds, but I certainly won't be spending $10 a year.
