It can dynamically composite the image of Earth, Moon, some fancy borders and glow lights on top or next to a chosen background image. The output of the script is a plain .jpg or .png file that can be used as a wallpaper by any window manager. The output looks like there are some widgets/desklets/gadgets on the wallpaper, but uses less memory and computation power, making it OK for laptop use. Additionally the script can work also as a wallpaper slideshow (i.e. taking a background image - usually a picture - randomly from a folder or supplied from the command line). The picture image can be stretched to full-screen or re-sized and re-positioned on the wallpaper next to XPlanet renderings. The script is written in Bash (Bourne-again shell), and requires XPlanet, ImageMagick and optionally POM (PhaseOfTheMoon). It should work on all platforms with bash installed and possibly on Cygwin.
