Catfood Earth transforms your desktop wallpaper into a regularly updated view of our planet's surface. Your wallpaper can now show current cloud cover, weather radar, earthquakes, the extent of daylight and nighttime, political borders and more. Catfood Earth has three themes. The default is the natural theme - this shows the current extent of daylight and nighttime and global cloud cover (updated every three hours). As well as choosing a theme you can fully customize eight different layers: the day image, cloud cover, the night image, time zones, political borders, places, earthquakes and weather radar (US locations only). The Time Zones theme color codes countries and regions to show their current time zone. Clocks at the top of the screen show you the current time in each zone. As countries enter or leave daylight savings the map is updated. You can choose to add places to the map, in which case Catfood Earth can also display the local time for cities, friends, company offices, etc. This theme is ideal for frequent travelers or to display locations as a conversation piece in your company's reception area. Lastly the Earthquakes theme shows recent earthquake data from the USGS. You can display earthquakes from up to the past twenty-four hours, and from magnitude 2.5 or higher. The display for each quake fades over time so it's easy to pick out the more recent events. It's also possible to show the location, time and magnitude of each quake.

DISCLAIMER - AGREEMENT Users of Catfood Earth must accept this disclaimer of warranty: “Catfood Earth is supplied as is. The author disclaims all warranties, expressed or implied, including, without limitation, the warranties of merchantability and of fitness for any purpose. The author assumes no liability for damages, direct or consequential, which may result from the use of Catfood Earth." Catfood Earth is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation. Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system. The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products. If you find this program useful and find that you are using Catfood Earth and wish to continue to use Catfood Earth after the 7 day trial period, you must make a registration payment to Catfood Software (the current price is available at the Catfood Software Store: https://secure.cnchost.com/catfood.net/store/). The registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time. You must treat this software just like a book. An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time. Commercial users of Catfood Earth must register and pay for their copies of Catfood Earth within 7 days of first use or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be made by contacting Catfood Software. Anyone distributing Catfood Earth for any kind of remuneration must first contact Catfood Software at the address below for authorization. This authorization will be automatically granted to distributors recognized by the (ASP) as adhering to its guidelines for shareware distributors, and such distributors may begin offering Catfood Earth immediately (However Catfood Software must still be advised so that the distributor can be kept up-to-date with the latest version of Catfood Earth.). You are encouraged to pass a copy of Catfood Earth along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it. All registered users will receive a copy of the latest version of the Catfood Earth system. This program is produced by a member of the Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or technical problem with an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for members' products. Please contact the ASP Ombudsman online at http://www.asp-shareware.com/omb.
