This is like the 5th app or so that I've reviewed here recently, that doesn't have a good icon for the Window Light theme. The directory that you're looking for is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\space-eye\downloaded_images. But you can head to the AppData folder and get them yourselves. The other problem is that the program doesn't let you save the downloaded images directly. You can't select the resolution of the wallpaper, or the monitor on which you want to use the background on. There are a couple of issues that could bother people.
#SATELITE PHOTO DESKTOP BACKGROUND UPDATE#
Do remember that while you can close the app after setting one of its images as your background, it needs to be running to update the wallpaper automatically.
To close SpaceEye, hit the menu button and then click the Quit option in the bottom left corner. It has 2 options, the first one lets the app start with windows automatically, while the 2nd option will enable SpaceEye to fetch new versions when the program is updated. So, your wallpaper gets updated automatically with the new view.Ĭlick on the three-dot menu button in the top right corner of the interface to access SpaceEye's settings. And it gets better, SpaceEye pings the servers once every 20 minutes, to fetch the latest images.
Twelve images, is that all we get? Yes, but these are live satellite images obtained from the GOES West, GOES East, and Himawari-8.
#SATELITE PHOTO DESKTOP BACKGROUND FULL#
Click on an image and a progress bar will appear, i.e., SpaceEye will download the full resolution picture, and when the file is ready it is set as your desktop wallpaper. You will see a dozen thumbnails here with a name indicating their geolocation. Right-clicking on the icon does nothing, you'll need to left-click to access the program's interface. SpaceEye runs in the background and can be accessed from its system tray icon. It allows you to configure the app runs, you can do this later and dismiss it for now. When it is ready, you will see a large pop-up window near the notifications area. You cannot select where the program gets installed to. This application fetches live satellite images of the Earth, and sets them as your desktop background. There are many programs and online services available which you can use to get a view of the Earth in real-time.ĭo you like having those pictures as wallpapers? If so, you may like SpaceEye. You know what else is beautiful? A blue planet, the one we live on.
