    Would love to have this on my desktop permanently, but it seems to cause conflicts with 'pop-up' windows spawned from other apps (eg, Instant Messenger notifications that slide on and off the screen). Whenever 'Sun' is running, these windows grind their respective apps to a halt and draw a ridiculous amount of CPU usage as they attempt to draw themselves on the screen. Once they have faded away everything returns to normal. This does NOT happen if 'Sun' is not running. A shame. Can this be fixed?

    I adore this widget; it's one of only two that I never, never close when I take the laptop on road trips.

    The only thing that wd make it even more perfect (is that even possible?) is to have moon info when you hover the mouse, either over the moon itself or over the meridian pointer.

    Great!
    However, if the moon is positioned as anti-sun (nice idea), then the phase of the moon seems to be flipped. Waxing moon should start from the right, but anti-sun starts from the left.
    However, phase display is correct if the moon is not positioned as anti-sun.

    Hi everybody,

    I've loaded this widget but I don't see anything on my desk. What's more,it seems there's no program file among the files loaded...

    It would be kind of you if you could help me. Yhanks

    I really like the sun widgit. I have it on my home and work computers. The only problem I am having is that the sun (somewhat) and the moon (more so) are not in exactly the place on my computer as they are in the sky. The moon seems to be 30-40 degrees off. The sun doesn't seem to be quite as bad. As far as I know I have the coordinates in right. Does anyone else notice this....Is it just me.....Am I being too picky?
    The only other thing that would be nice would be the option to have the vie More
