Lots of sun today in Belgium.
Still i wonder it would be nice to have a moving background.
I tried python scripts but weather provider did not liked my credentials...

You could construct an animated gif every hour from the last 12 image updates, and play it in the background with something like imagemagick's animate program. Personally I find a moving background too distracting, I prefer the static image.

I had xearth as a background for some time. And after a long coding session, you suddenly see your capital city come up on the right and you watch the horizon getting lit. That's when you put the coffee away and start looking for your bed. Now if a new version of xearth could use sattelite feeds and maybe one of the constellation trackers for the star background...

Last source code update seems to have been 4 years ago, perhaps it will still work ok.
