Hi there,

How can I configure xplanet as desktop background in KDE. (I mean what are the various options in configure desktop -> Advanced Options - Modify.

Can I centre the image to my location. Can I add clouds?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
Rex

Did you check the documentation on sourceforge? http://xplanet.sourceforge.net/FAQ.php

How can I get xplanet to work with KDE?
From Jeremy Sonander <Jeremy at saros dot com>:
- Right click on the backdrop, and select "Configure desktop"
- Select Background
- Go to the Wallpaper tab and select no wallpaper
- Go to the Background tab and select Background Program from the Mode tab
- Click Setup
- There should already be an Xplanet entry. Select this and click Modify
- The Command and Preview Command should be
xplanet --num_times 1 --geometry %xx%y --latitude 20 --output %f.png && mv %f.png %f

Yeah I checked that much... but my question is then what?

I'm interested in viewing the stars as well, also a few satellites their trajectories (real time)

An clues how to go about it?
