WorldClock Screen Saver Description
|
The WorldClock screen savers display a high resolution map of the world that will
accommodate even the highest 4K resolution displays. The day and
night areas are clearly shown on the map. You can also have the local time of up to 32
locations (four in the trial version) displayed on transparent panels over the map;
the local time in these locations are updated every minute.
The WorldClock screen savers can be configured to display the night area using a
satellite composite image of the Earth's surface at night. The day area uses the regular
map while the night area uses a 'Night Lights' map. These 'Night Lights' are from night
illumination in our major metropolitan areas (street lighting, electric signs, etc.).
Typical WorldClock.Classic and WorldClock.Net screen saver displays with the day/night
shadow in 'Night Lights' mode are shown below. These images have been reduced to fit on
this page and some detail has been lost -- download the free trial version to see how
they appear in full resolution on your computer.

As you can see from the screenshots above, the WorldClock screen savers have
extensive customization options. In fact, almost all of the configuration options
available in the main WorldClock programs are also available for the screen savers.

Useful Tip For WorldClock Screen Savers
|
When you're setting up your preferences for the screen saver, it gets more than a
little tedious using the Windows screen saver applet. You click on Settings, change
your settings, click Ok, click Preview, and repeat over and over until you finally
have everything as you like. But if you elected to have the installer create the
WorldClock(.Net) Screen Saver and WorldClock(.Net) Screen Saver Settings
desktop shortcuts, you can use these to speed up this operation considerably.
First of all, go into the screen saver applet using the
WorldClock(.Net) Screen Saver Settings shortcut and then click the
Settings button; this will bring you to the screen saver's Preferences window.
Now change any and all settings as you like and then click the Apply button.
Do not click the Ok button as this will close the settings window;
clicking the Apply button instead will save your new settings and keep you in
the settings window. Now double-click on the other shortcut the installer created
(WorldClock(.Net) Screen Saver) and this will run the screen saver using your new
settings. Now just go back and forth between the settings window and the run screen
saver shortcut until you're happy with your settings. This is much faster than
repeatedly starting the Windows screen saver applet to get to the settings.
