Earth-light

Earth-light

By Sterling Udell

A photorealistic simulated view of Earth from space, including seasons, day/night, clouds, and city lights. NOTE: The real title of this theme is "DaylightMap - Northern Hemisphere", but changing the title to "Earth-light" was the only way to make Google show the correct time - they give preferential treatment based on the name (no, really!). My apologies to Yves Behar, the designer of the real Earth-Light theme. I'll change it back as soon as Google fixes this bug.

Earth-light / BANDA ARKANGEL R-15 * "CORRIDO DE GUTY ALDRETE"

background color and column  roger witherspoon - Mar 26, 2012 - Report this comment

I agree with Ryan. why the color change? And why is there suddenly a separate column for contacts and chat? I DO NOT WANT THEM. HOW CAN I MAKE THEM GO AWAY PERMANENTLY? Why did you inflict them on us?

Background color  Ryan Baker - Mar 16, 2012 - Report this comment

Normally the background color where the gadgets are is white, enabling someone to clearly see it, but now it has changed to a dark purple which makes it very difficult read the black text. Why the change?

like it but...   - Robert Petet - Feb 1, 2012 - Report this comment

the color of the icons for the gadgets needs to be set to white so that they can be selected more easily. maybe if there was a way for us to modify the colors to our liking. hmmm...

Map image gets borked by google?  Scott Yates - Nov 29, 2011 - Report this comment

If you look at: http://skins.gmodules.com/ig/skin_fetch?fp=iT1wBA&type=2&sfkey=http://www.daylightmap.com/theme/header/north_03_17.jpg It appears that sometime after 7pm or so (anecdotal evidence) it gets corrupted. I have cleared my cache, tried different browsers, etc. The image always gets mangled about halfway down, and around the same time of day. Hopefully you can see the problem with that url.

I live in Hawaii and the I like this theme but it does not seem to follow my time. I checked if I was set for Hawaii time on Google and I am. So, I am confuse.

Did the Flat Earth Society overtake this theme for April Fool's Day?
