Hey Hey!! I have clouds! :banana:

 

I made the full path edit in the script and ran it manually and it worked. Made a couple of other pathway edits, renamed the original 'default' config file in /usr/X11R6/share/xplanet/config to 'default.old', and everything works. Even the starmap file is working. I can't see the stars with the default screen sizing, but the moon comes into view so I think I'll leave the size as is, at least for now.

 

Now I'm just hope the crontab I put in runs the 'download_clouds.pl' script properly, but my logs overnight say it was running every 3 hours so I think I'm go to go.

 

Xplanet just makes such a cool background, especially with an clean, iconless desktop and transparent apps. My dad is here and just saw it running and it really knocked him out. Now he wants me to do it on his Win2k box. At 84 he's not up to tryin it himself. Ugghhh...seems setting xplanet up on 'Doze is kind of a bear.

 

Many thanks for the help!
