The amount of resources measured by “Resource Monitor” was negligible, but the installation file size was large (as large as a web browser). In short, it is just a “wallpaper” application. Therefore, it is a static image that is not real-time, and it is not suitable for weather forecasting applications, as it does not show “how the clouds are changing” at all. The “live” images from satellites are updated in about 20 minutes to an hour. I love “John’s Background Switcher”, so I can’t share it with it, and I can’t switch to other wallpapers until I quit SpaceEye. Just by opening the download file, the installation is automatically executed and “installation completed” with no manual intervention possible, and the application is executed and applied as a wallpaper. If you want something more powerful in the wallpaper department, check out Lively Wallpaper. While it may lack options to customize the image's resolution, the time-interval to download new photos, SpaceEye provides a user-friendly way to get some gorgeous wallpapers. The program is also available for Linux and Mac computers. You can download it from the Microsoft Store, or the regular installer from the project's GitHub page, and I like having the choice between the two. It's not a dealbreaker, but as someone who prefers Windows' default theme, I'm a bit disappointed. This is like the 5th app or so that I've reviewed here recently, that doesn't have a good icon for the Window Light theme. The directory that you're looking for is C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\space-eye\downloaded_images. But you can head to the AppData folder and get them yourselves. The other problem is that the program doesn't let you save the downloaded images directly. You can't select the resolution of the wallpaper, or the monitor on which you want to use the background on. There are a couple of issues that could bother people. Do remember that while you can close the app after setting one of its images as your background, it needs to be running to update the wallpaper automatically. To close SpaceEye, hit the menu button and then click the Quit option in the bottom left corner.
