Features:
- Apps list: Convenient access to all of your Chrome apps. The list fades into the background when not in use.
- Custom text or clock: Include your own custom inspirational message front and center, see the current time, or keep it zen.
- Runs offline: enjoy it whether you're at home or traveling.
- Features gallery-quality photographs from around the world.
- Highly customizable: Show or hide your list of Chrome apps, change the size of the clock, and much more!
- Based on time: By default, it acts like a time zone clock, showing you photographs of locations around the world in their time zone. If you set it to use local timezone, you'll see photographs from around the world taken at the same time of day.

- (2015-04-16) cheryl cotter: The view of Pittsburgh is amazing. Only wish it was real time :) but he is working on that.
- (2015-04-09) D Di: I really enjoy this chrome extension. It's nice to see the photograph change with the time of the day. The locations are awesome, especially the Pittsburgh image. Photography is great and just like the whole layout. I also downloaded the Desktop version for my Mac. It replaces your default wallpaper and just like this extension it changes through the day. I have had no issues with it and highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys great photography and who is looking for something different and unique.
- (2015-03-22) Scott Martin: I'm definitely a fan of the random mode... it's cool to see Jerusalem when you open one tab, then the Caribbean the next time.
- (2015-03-22) Dean Webb: I love having the views available through the day. I don't have a window near my cube... unless I run this program, and then I always have a great view that changes through the day.
