erm ... this is a little bit specific, but here it goes ...

I'm looking for a background software I heard of ... it puts in background :) the globe map, and it has the functionality of giving the time zones by area ... I don't know if it would show the Sun/Moon afected zones (day/night:)).

Have you heard if it? Where can I get it?

If you didn't heard of it, at least can you know where can I find a world map (simple image) with good quality so I can apply on my background?

Thanks

Earthview 1.21 is what you are looking for............and it's free.

EarthView is a dynamic desktop wallpaper and screen saver, which displays beautiful views of the earth with daylight and night shadows. It produces high quality images for every screen resolution - even beyond 1600x1200!

The program supports map and globe views, displays cities with local time, urban areas, city lights, geo-political boundaries and much more. Many options allow total customization of all view parameters.


Have fun.
