Are you tired of that boring Desktop background you have had on your PC for a long time? Although you can download others manually, you should not lose sight of the fact that specific applications have spectacular images that can dress up your computer as you would never have imagined. EarthDesk is one of them, and as you can imagine, it will let you enjoy an unprecedented view of our planet.

Indeed, EarthDesk is a paid utility responsible for completely replacing our computer's desktop background with a kind of world map that shows the planet at a safe distance. However, the exciting thing about this application is that it is dynamic, so as the day advances, so does the background, showing the passage from day to night as if we were watching it live.

EarthDesk lets you enjoy a high-resolution photograph of our planet with incredible details, such as those related to the weather conditions on each continent, the position of the sun and the moon, and, therefore, the lighting in each case. But again, it is incredible to see how the application updates as the day progress, and the changes also affect our wallpaper.

And a not minor issue is that thanks to EarthDesk, we have absolute freedom of configuration of the service to determine according to what we consider appropriate; every amount of time should be updated. This is important because, in computers that are not overpowered, it may be convenient to look for more extended periods between updates so as not to overload their capacity.

On the other hand, EarthDesk does not stop there; it is an above-average option for astronomy lovers, considering it adds complementary content to learn more about. For example, it can zoom in, so you will find the different countries, the geographical areas they occupy, and all kinds of attractive details.

To this, we must add that EarthDesk also has excellent quality political maps, which are perfect for those users who want to know the details about the territorial divisions between nations. And if all this were not enough, you will also find an enormous amount of real satellite photographs, thanks to which you will be able to get a better idea of the conformation of our planet.

According to the type of content you want to observe, EarthDesk will let you select if you wish to view the application in its physical or political mode. You can switch between these two options as often as necessary. In addition, you can also configure whether you want to add a layer of information about the weather conditions in any of these maps, so why not follow the storms that may form?

Now, beyond all these positive features we have mentioned about EarthDesk, you should not lose sight of the fact that, as we anticipated at the beginning, it is a paid platform, which in its free version, has certain limitations. Probably the most important of them is that a watermark is placed on the map, which can be somewhat annoying to most people's eyes.

Beyond that, we have to point out that the graphic definition of EarthDesk is well above average, and the level of detail of the planet Earth that we can see is very well achieved. We find ourselves with a background system of Desktop of Windows far superior to most, not only those that come by default but also those we can download ourselves.

The main positive aspects of EarthDesk are related without any doubt in the first instance to how well achieved the environments are and that we can feel that we are in space watching our planet from a distance. Besides that, the fact of being able to configure elements such as the renewal rate of the background interface, or the type of map we want to see, seems very important to us.

The worst thing about EarthDesk, we believe, has already been made clear during the description of the program, and that is that it is a paid program, which at certain times can be annoying when using it because of the watermark that is placed on top of its interface. At the same time, if you have an old PC and it is not very powerful, we recommend you reduce to a minimum the frequency of updates of this background.

In conclusion, if you consider yourself an astronomy lover and are tired of that background Desktop that you have had for years, EarthDesk is one of the best alternatives. Its real-time updating is excellent for never getting bored of your PC wallpaper, and whenever you want, it will even serve as a world map to corroborate all kinds of important information.
