Great wallpaper! I love it very much. Perhaps there's a way to customize it more?
Like, I want it to show seconds, change the date format to DD-MMM-YYYY, change font, etc.

Ok next week i will start it, might take a month or more due to work.
klingonski 28 Jun @ 3:25pm 
this is probably the best wallpaper i have, its so cool. but are you working on an unmirrored one?? it really messes with my brain - it took me so long to figure out that you start with indonesia
Shockz  [author] 18 Jun @ 10:53am 
Not possible since i am already at my limit for approval. i can however, do another wallpaper this time, design it a little better.

Thanks for trying, Shockz. Would it be possible to implement a setting/switch in the app for users to chose whether to have the 'real earth' or a 'nice fake planet which looks a bit like earth'?
Shockz  [author] 15 Jun @ 8:21am 
I changed it back, it looked so bad.
Shockz  [author] 15 Jun @ 8:06am 
Will switch it back if enough are unhappy with the accurate changes.
Shockz  [author] 15 Jun @ 8:03am 
Lot of feedback about the planet.
This was an artistic choice i made while making the wallpaper since it was an artistic choice.
The wallpaper is now geographically accurate as requested but as a result as pointed out already, less appealing, dull boring i hate it now.

Now you get less land and more ice and water, less night lighting too.


Apologies for those that liked the way it was but the negative comments are still coming in, not just on steam but other social apps i have.

is it just for me or why did earth became grey
Hexenhammer 14 Jun @ 1:16pm 
Nice but it's annoying that Earth is not being shown with correct continents but is somehow mirrored. That drives me nuts.

было бы прикольно если бы земля не просто вертелась а обои прям показывали как расположена земля сейчас:cuphead::GDNormal:

All i can do right now is learn from previous experiences and use a different way next time like a cube map.
Shockz  [author] 6 Apr @ 6:46am 
The planet is a map on a 3D object, and in order for the map to to fit an sphere, it is condensed at the top and the bottom. The flip was done to avoid details being blurry and lost during rotation.

Amazing bro :steamthumbsup:
How is this done?,I'm just a little curious.,Is it real-time?,Will it be updated?,It's a bit embarrassing.,But if it's a real-time picture, it's cool, isn't it? :steambored:

`having an issue where the earth rotation stutters and looks clunky, played around with the setting and remains the same, using 42 inch oled 4k hdr`

I am not sure why it is stuttering for you. It seems to be fine on my end and i'm using 42" 4k HDR.
Shockz  [author] 26 Mar @ 3:26am 
It's a 2D scene with both 3D and 2D assets, the backgrounds are image based, the planet is a model and the stars are particles.
汪小鱼 25 Mar @ 5:49pm 
May I ask how he made it? Is it an imported 3D model? Can you explain the production method? Can I upload and share screenshots of project files in the screenshot? After studying, I also want to make one. thank!
Shockz  [author] 22 Mar @ 2:42pm 
I will make it less noticeable.
I'm keeping it in, it's the only indicator that you clicked the clock since it is a movable object.
Anonymous 21 Mar @ 9:40pm 
Okay but why does the Clock kind of like zoom in when it gets clicked, kind of annoying if you have an application there or something. Just my personal opinion.
Shockz  [author] 15 Mar @ 3:17pm 
Will take a look at it when i get time.

hit the red "Reset" button at the bottom of the user property list in case you set the brightness to 0 or something mundane like that.

If the problem still persist, verify Steam files: https://steamhost.cn/help_steampowered_com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB

I am not sure why you are getting a black screen, I have been through all the options and settings available to try and get a black screen and everything to my knowledge shows the wallpaper.

I will forward this message on to one of the dev team see if they can help.
L0giKsc2 11 Mar @ 11:20am 
This is my all time fav, however after i originally downloaded now it just shows a complete black screen, is this the same as was previously mentioned, or do i need to tweak something? please help and i LOVE THIS!

Some alignments also mess the wallpaper up, This is caused by perspective rendering colliding with standard images that are unaffected by perspective, there is nothing i can do about it at this current version of WE.

All i can do now while moving forward. Recognise these new problems i am now aware of and take them in to account on new wallpapers so they don't present themselves in future projects.

I will still continue to try fix issues i find if possible, your feedback is very much appreciated and i want to thank you all for the support.
Shockz  [author] 10 Mar @ 5:56am 
The OLED i cannot do anything about since if i can't visibly see the issue it's impossible for me to fix the issue. And i don't have an OLED to test on.

Some parts vanish when you hit the flip button, I know why this is happening, the planets size is bigger than the WE environment limits, but was the only way to get the view you see and there is no Near Z and far Z setting since this is a 2D wallpaper with 3D parts. After 4 hours i am unable to fix this problem. Or find an alternate problem solve without having to redo the whole project.

if you click the reflect button the picture disappears If it is possible, please fix it 9/10 :r_heart:

I love the style and theme, however these blacks and lines look rough on an OLED ultrawide unfortunately.

Uncle_D 9 Mar @ 10:13am 
It's ah very nice job, but come on bro, the clock should have a 12HR/24HR option to pick ok, we use 12HR clocks in the US not 24HR clocks and this one has a 24HR clock only:steamthumbsup:

Thank you.

I fixed the time and date not being correctly hidden when you click the text box.

Wow Good job :FH5Kudos:
good
Kena 9 Mar @ 3:12am 
cant hide time and date please add it
Cheese leopard 8 Mar @ 11:53pm 
time and date can you hide
darvil 8 Mar @ 4:43pm 
Great work! However, there's a tiny issue where the clock position does not seem to get saved, so it resets back to where it is by default.
Dmit 8 Mar @ 3:52pm 
nice
Shockz  [author] 8 Mar @ 1:31pm 
Fixed some transparency bugs and a major bug with the text drag and drop function.
Shockz  [author] 8 Mar @ 11:47am 
Thank you all for the support and comments, The earth being how it is, was just an artistic choice based on looks and feel and wasn't a mistake.
Olaf 8 Mar @ 8:22am 
The earth is incorrect. It's mirrored. Can you fix it?. GJ tho.
