xSkyDesk for Mac1.3.6

I love this little app, however the best time to actually look at it is dawn/dusk and night. In the daytime the colouring especially for where I am in Australia is way off. Right now the top of xSkyDesk is almost black, but outside it's a very light blue. Perhaps some tweaking of the colouring is needed? But other than that a great little thing :)

It seems it nomore works on Panther : demo crashes every time it's launched.

I've registered this great app, but the number sent via email doesn't work. Is it maybe a 10.4.1 thing? Reply would be appreciated. Thanx

I love this app... it's quite beautiful and really adds life to the desktop. I love seeing a realtime night sky after dark (with the waxing or waning moon and all the constellations in place)... And witnessing daybreak occur while I am working early is refreshing... Almost as good as my windows! Not sure if these issues below are correctable while maintaining the current detail and efficiency of the program.. but that's what these MU reviews are for right? -CPU usage seems to be a problem... It is often at the top of my Activity Monitor List. I do understand the detail of this app... maybe this can't be resolved? -Stylistically, I do think the contrast of the "sky" brightness from screen top to bottom is nice... but possibly a little too exaggerated for my longitude... I am in Pennsylvania USA and at noon (in early spring mind you), my screen is still about 3/4 black to very very deep dark blue. I think allowing a brighter day would make dusk and dawn all the more dramatic when the color and brightness transitions. -Might there be a way to antialias the sun and moon imagery? The sharp-pixel edges take a jab at the otherwise natural beauty of the view. Possibly an option to hide the sun and moon also... although that would go against the astronomical correctness of this app. -Also the option to choose a static direction of the view, without the timed pans and all.. not a big deal of course.. just a suggestion! Overall a great desktop app! Thank you!

Hmm... I was running this for a while and then my stars dimmed... now I can hardly see any of them :(

Pretty cool! So far, I'm enjoying this a lot. Aside from the fact that you have to use a third-party service to find your current Lat/Lng it's easy to setup and get going. I think the only missing feature is to be able to set your viewing orientation since my monitor isn't lined-up with how the app displays :)
