Description
Request from ~VacuumNinjaExperimenting with a rotating sphere.
Available in 2 sizes: The big original one and a small one implanted into an interface with 2 number strings displaying X/Y position (for now it's just eye-candy).
IF YOU CAN FIND A SIMILAR .GIF OR VIDEOCLIP CONTAINING A ROTATING EARTH / PREFERABLY WIRE-FRAME STYLE, PLEASE TELL ME!!!
You can get an animated preview .gif here [link]
Logo suggestions matching the theme, especially rotating logos of federal agencies like FBI/CIA/NSA or fictional logos (e.g. COD) are very welcome.
If you have a logo request I can convert it into a transparent multi-png so it can be used with Rainmeter.

This is pretty AWESOME !!!!!!! What an eye-candy. Just a question. This widget elevates Rainmeter's resources use in a considerable way or use as much as any other rainmeter?

Depends on your CPU. The resource usage is almost unnoticeable on a quadcore, but can get quite high on a system with low processing power (e.g. a netbook). There is no comfortable way of getting Rainmeter to display animations, so what you computer basically does is splitting the pictures in a large horizontally aligned .png into many pieces and display them one after another. At high fps this gets pretty ambitious for your CPU.

Thanks so much for the fast answer Gst3r! I have a double core processor, so I think this wont be a problem.
You are helping to take Rainmeter to a new level CONGRATS and THANKS SO MUCH!

Pretty much medium. You can edit it yourself by right clicking the sphere, clicking "edit" and changing the Update= at the very top.
Always calculate 1000/Update-rate to see how many frames per second you'll get.
Considering the 20 frames for a ~30 degree turn, it won't rotate that fast even if the update is set to ~10.
