EarthSunX is a small application that will display valuable information related to time and date all over the earth. It is a day/night world map in a very pleasant, relaxing way and without taking any valuable desktop space or a lot of resources, yet being always less than one mouse move (or hotkey) away. Also it will show the precise time and day in a number of user-selected cities. Many options are available so that users can customize it in their desired form. EarthSunX will auto-hide itself when the mouse pointer is no longer over it and will un-hide when the mouse is positioned for a short time over its thin margin on the edge of the screen (you can accelerate that with a click on it) or when pressing the special hotkey (WIN+K by default). A double-click will also hide the EarthSunX window (in case you do not want to move the mouse from that position since you want to get to some windows under EarthSunX).

EarthSunX is entirelly self-contained and requires no special framework to be installed - and also does not require a link to the Internet - everything is based on your computer. (but some "local settings" MUST be correctly set, like for instance the time and time-zone - if you time-zone is NOT set correctly the picture will not be correct - you will also be able to see when you have such a problem since on the row with the local time the name of the time zone will probably be wrong). EarthSunX will use the time-zones defined by Windows itself - which might be different in various versions of Windows and not necessarily accurate - for instance only Windows versions after 2000 will know that Nepal/Kathmandu is in a time-zone that is 45 minutes away from multiples-of-GMT (but most Windows versions will recognize most zones with 30 minutes offsets). This version is the first release on CNET Download.com.

Featured Talkback

Why do so many (virtually all) software packages think that they are so important that they have to be started automatically every time the computer boots? What is the largest number of "speed access", "update check", "camera download" and whatever other background programs you have ever seen running? Of those, how many did you really need?
