Nice! Goes well with my Spiderman2 Theme. I look forward to the MooN. Too bad Mars isn't possible, that would go great with a DooM3 Theme.

Beautiful and well-executed eye-candy. Although not much more use than a souped-up icon, it is still fascinating and shows off the hidden power of DX. Worth at least a 9 to me!
Note: Stardock are building an entire app (IconX) around souped-up icons, so my comment is not a knock.

Very sweet graphics! I've used the spinning globe from DX since I've been using DX, but now I will use this one. Did you add the light flare/spot to the graphics? (The one just to the left and above of the center) It seems a little distracting to me, especially when it passes over the oceans.
I'd definitely be interested in something like this of the moon or planetary zoomers as well.
Nice work....

Would love to haveIE . I could produce one at up to 1000x1000 pixels, but I doubt any PC is capable of animating that at 40fps....and yes DL no problem on a T1 server and yes could run at up to 60-80 frames,at the high resolution,,,, Glenn ,,,nice to watch spinning around LOL,,good Job indeed,,,,,

Will,
Thanks for looking into doing the lights globe. I see your point about losing the detail when it's reduced in size.

Mo619, the answer is no. The GIF format does not provide the required alpha channel. This animation cannot be properly rendered in that format.

9!
Does anyone remember the good old rotating globe for OS/2?
Because you have 240 images, it's easy to slow it down to 10 images/hour. The only thing missing to actually represent "current earth position" would be to start the rotation on image X, where x is the PC time HHMM / 10
That would be the ultimate earth object!

"Earth's current position" only has meaning if you say "as viewed from this spot". Every frame in the animation is always the correct image as viewed from somewhere...

Incredible! 
I clicked on 5 stars, but I can never tell if that rating thing is working. I can tell just from the number of comments and suggestions that people are inspired by your work.

Exodia, because as downloaded, this object does nothing except look pretty, as it says in the description. If you want it to be a shortcut for anything, just make it into one using normal DesktopX methods: Make it an "Object of Type: Shortcut" in the properties dialog. That process is described in the DX documentation... Enjoy.
