 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.


 WorldClock Screen Saver Trial Edition Download
Trial Editions of the WorldClock screen savers are available for download at this link.

Note that the only difference between the trial editions and the full editions is that a "Trial Edition" signature is overlaid over the world map, and the number of locations panels is limited to four.

You can purchase a license for either of the WorldClock screen savers at this link.


 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.
