Images from www.die.net/earth/
they provide real time world sunlight map, which is excellent for a dark theme desktop wallpaper
i am currently using the Hemisphere 1152 view for my desktop
i believe they update the images every 15-30mins, so no point of putting the timer for less than 10mins
screenshot:

Code:
#Persistent
Gui, +toolwindow +alwaysontop
Gui, Add, Text, x10 y10, Map Type:
Gui, Add, DropDownList, vMap x+6 y8 w80 choose1, mercator|hemisphere|mollweide|peters|rectangular
Gui, Add, Text, x10 y40, Map Size:
Gui, Add, DropDownList, x+10 y38 vSize w80 choose1, 800|1024|1152|1280|1440|1600
Gui, Add, Text, x10 y70, Update:
Gui, Add, Edit, x+18 y68 w80, 30
Gui, Add, Text, x125 y73 vmin, min
Gui, Add, Button, gP x10 y100, Preview
Gui, Add, Button, gS x+10 y100, Start
Gui, Show, x0 y0,World Sunlight Map

return
P:
Gui, submit, nohide
Settimer, Download, -1
return

S:
Gui, submit, hide
if min < 10
min = 10
time := min * 60000
Settimer, Download, %time%
return

Download:
UrlDownloadToFile, http://static.die.net/earth/%Map%/%Size%.jpg, %A_temp%\hemisphere.jpg
DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", UInt, 0x14, UInt, 0, Str, A_temp . "\hemisphere.jpg", UInt, 2)
return
 


or if u want to add this to ur 24/7 script, simply use the below format:
Code:
#Persistent
Settimer, Download, 1800000
Download:
UrlDownloadToFile, http://static.die.net/earth/hemisphere/1152.jpg, %A_temp%\hemisphere.jpg
DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", UInt, 0x14, UInt, 0, Str, A_temp . "\hemisphere.jpg", UInt, 2)
return
 

*Make sure the default display setting is Center and Black background

Doesnt the earth look beautiful?

Really cool dude! awesome thinking. I suggest you add a rich GUI with some cool options, previews, & refresh time settings. It would be great if it sports a good UI. Maybe i could help

Anyway, Awesome work dude :)

Very interesting idea but I can't make it work. The picture is downloaded but it is not replacing my wallpaper.

I am on Windows XP, is there anything I need to change in the dll call?

Thanks!

Try this:

Code:

Download:
UrlDownloadToFile, http://static.die.net/earth/%Map%/%Size%.jpg, %A_temp%\hemisphere.jpg
DllCall("SystemParametersInfo", UInt, 0x14, UInt, 0, Str, A_temp."\hemisphere.jpg", UInt, 2)
return

I have had little success with evan's script;
Aravind's suggestion fails to resolve the issue;
Any other suggestions?

I couldn't get this script to work either. So instead I downloaded this:

http://codefromthe70s.org/desktopearth_dl.aspx

seems to work well and shows cloud cover

Thanks;
I've been running DesktopEarth for years;
I was interested in the AHK solution;
I'll keep my eyes open for a functional version of this script.

make sure u have UAC turn off
once i turn it off, the script works for me
i assume either the UrlDownloadToFile or the Dllcall needs it
well i also notice that the Dllcall is straight from the help file example script, so that should work in most user's computer, at least on my w7 32 bit @@

Thank you for the suggestion, but UAC was introduced with Windows Vista;
I am still running under XP.

Cool, thanks!

Works perfectly on Vista.

It probably doesn't work on XP because the format of the images is jpg and SystemParametersInfo works on XP and older only with bmps.
Try converting the image before making the DllCall.

Cheers

I just checked and according to this MSDN page, .jpgs won't work on XP or win2k (search for "SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER").

The code worked great for me on Windows 7. I don't normally have a desktop image, so I had to turn wallpapers on before the script would work.

I preferred the rectangular projection, though:

or if you have a 1280 pixel wide monitor:
