Since upgrading to High Sierra, I've been having an issue where the wallpaper on one of my monitors doesn't center properly, but only when switching from my laptop's screen to the two external monitors. If I start the Mac with both external monitors connected, the wallpaper is fine until undocking/redocking.

The arrangement of my screens:

The portrait monitor works fine:

But the landscape (primary?) monitor does this:

I figured it was an issue with how Satellite Eyes is composing the image, since the bing logo in the lower right corner is in the right place.

The map returns at different locations at different zoom levels. For the neighbourhood level, it is more or less right at Singapore:

However, the next two zoom levels, at city and region levels, they return somewhere north of Singapore, in Malaysia, or even in the Straits of Malacca:

How difficult do you think it would be to implement this as a screensaver?

loads as neighborhood level even when set to street level.

watercolor map tiles seem to be available at higher zoom levels, so i believe this is satellite-eyes specific?

I'm hitting this issue while trying to build

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/cocoalumberjack/9tpyW1MgeMM

So far no luck. I tried "Converting to ARC" , or using LLVM GCC 4.2 without any success. How do I fix project setup so that it builds?

It'd be nice to have the option to display a scale on top of the tiles.

I like the app, but I would love it if it only changed one of my spaces on Mac OS X instead of changing the background of each space that I switch to.

I don't think that any fancy UI is necessary in the preferences to select which space you want to have changed - you could just have a checkbox for "only apply changes to a single space", and automatically apply it to the space the user is currently in when he started using the app.

e.g. http://forecast.io/ and http://earth.nullschool.net/

This will make it easier for users to share custom styles, since the current method of trying to figure out how to escape the crazy string when writing to defaults on the command line is an exercise in futility.

See #36

I get this error on first launch. I ensured that location privileges were granted.

Is there something I'm maybe doing wrong?

A place to share 'em would be great too. Maybe enable the project wiki so everyone can contribute their own?

My monitors have about a 1.5cm frame around them and as such when viewing the (gorgeous!) map stretched across my screen, things don't line up quite right, since the app doesn't handle the "lost space" between displays. It would be great if we could have some sort of slider/dial to "overscan" the image on each display by a slightly variable amount. For my screens (1080p) I'd imagine this range could live between 0 and 200px, maybe even 0-100px.

I've noticed that satellite-eyes frequently gets stuck “waiting for location fix” when I wake my laptop from sleep at work, where I have both WiFi (behind a captive portal) and an ethernet interface. This appears to be a race condition – if I wake the laptop without the ethernet cable and then plug it in, everything is fine – but it seems like satellite-eyes should have some reasonable timeout (5 minutes?) for the location query as there's otherwise no way to force an update short of restarting the app.

Complicated because you can mix a retina display with a normal display if using multiple monitors, and if you just scale the tile imagery they won't align correctly, and most tiles aren't available in high resolution rasters.

A way to randomly rotate between (a subset of) tilesets when location does not change, to keep wallpaper interesting on desktops...

Thanks for all things Satellite Eyes. This issue suggests a new image effect that darkens the map. Perhaps something similar to "Halftone" but darker. (I'll try to hack on this myself and send a pull request.)

Because they're beautiful.

Just picked up a BenQ PD3200U monitor and was tweaking out because there seemed to be some green banding, which was exacerbated when windows were moved around, but only with certain applications. This would cause the bands to move and dance around.

I can stop the issue by changing my image effect in Satellite Eyes from Halftone Dark to any other effect. I'm guessing it's an interpolation thing having to do with the size of the dots in Halftone Dark. The effects are visible if i take a screenshot and then view the screenshot at 100% size on the monitor, however the green banding disappears when zooming in on the image.

i have the newest cocoapods and i get this when trying to install

AKA an option to not show the menu bar icon.

Now that SE doesn't use the discrete graphics card anymore, I don't need to do the only thing I was doing with the the menu bar icon (close the app to release the discrete graphics card lock). Other tools just show the preferences when called in this sort of mode, I'm not sure how easy it is to implement though.

e.g. https://snazzymaps.com/style/2/midnight-commander

To make it easier to still see what's on the desktop.

If no current location information is available, have an option to show a random location.

It would be great (esp for users on desktops not laptops) if you could assign a location to a space, so as to get different maps per space. Thanks for a great app!

If you want additional map styes, here are the tile-sets I've added to my personal map-style manager.

I use a 2nd monitor, and depending on which screen I'm working on, Satellite Eyes will refresh based on the current screen, and size the zoom level slightly differently between the two. This causes the background map images to shift suddenly, many times a day as I work.

It would be nice and respectful (and only proper since it's in the tile provider's TOSes) that we have a field to specify an attribution string for each Map Style.

The attribution, ideally, should be discretely displayed at the lower right hand side of the wallpaper.

I love Satellite Eyes! But I only run it at startup and then immediately exit it because I find it very distracting when it occasionally "updates" the background, usually shifting the map a few millimeters to the side. Updating the map is completely unnecessary when I am sitting in a perfectly stationary location at e.g. my house for long periods of time.

I don't have a good understanding of how Apple's location services work, but could we:
(1) add a user option to prevent the map from updating if the location only changes a little bit? In other words, if the location has not changed in any meaningful way (maybe I moved from my bedroom to my living room, or maybe I didn't move at all but OS X thinks I did), don't update the map. Perhaps we could have an option to set how much the location has to change before the map updates?
(2) if that is technically impossible or difficult, could we modify how often Satellite Eyes checks if our location has changed after startup? I'm not sure if you ask OS X for the Location, or if Satellite Eyes updates the map when OS X tells us that the location has changed. Either way some way to make it update the map less often would be nice.

I work in Washington DC. Overall, Satellite Eyes is great but I noticed an oddity:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/360980/Satellite%20Eyes%20Watercolor%20Oddity.jpg

This looks like a broken tile but has been persistent for the last couple of weeks.

I didn't allow location at first, and now I can't. Because it does not exist in the services. Btw tried to reinstall but nothing changes.

Something that would be cool is a camera rotation view like Apple Maps uses in it's detail view when you place a pin on the map. This gives the impression of a drone or chopper point of view flying above the location.
This might be possible with MKMapCamera.

As a user who takes trains everywhere all the flipping time, I want to be able to pause Satellite Eyes from the menu bar so that I can save my flakey 3G signal (as I would for Dropbox or Google Drive etc) and unpause again later rather than having to remember I closed it.

It'd be nice to to have a subtle marker showing where you are.

I tried building it in xcode (I'm planning to add a small feature to enable custom coordinates) but I am not enrolled in the dev program, in which case I have opted-out for code-signing. And I encountered this build error:

I get this message the first time I run the app:
P≥‡™ˇ���@���� would like to use your current location.

Is it possible to have it target only one monitor?

e.g. On some screens, show satellite image and on others show terrain/roads etc

Love the app, I often gets questions from people wondering about my background. :-)

I’d love it if there were a preference to use the same map on all screens, not just always tile based on arrangement. It looks a bit odd when I plug my laptop into a projector and the map is quite a bit east from my current location. I'd like people to see what I see in that case. (My desktop has 2 displays, but it's always on my desk...)

(Version 1.4.1/Build 1112)

It seems like the Thunderforest maps (OCM, Transport, Landscape and Outdoors) require an API Key

I'm not sure if this would be possible, but it would be nice if my current location could be pulled from my iPhone when I tether for internet access. I do this often when working remotely (cafes, coffee shops, etc) and it could be useful to have a map of where I am directly on the desktop.

I enjoy seeing a map of where I am, but sometimes I'd like to see where I'm not. It would be great to be able to specify a location and keep the desktop pinned to it.

It may be nice to have an option to enter in an address to center on in for a more precise map. Also, being able to save that would be an added convenience.

In release 1.2, if the current zoom level is unavailable there is a camera symbol. It would be great if it only was a plain background color.

Btw, thank you for a great product!

I have three monitors. I only want this to target one monitor.

Related code:

However, I'm not familiar with Obj-C, quite sad I cannot PR :-(

gfxCardStatus tells me that Satellite-Eyes forces my MacBook to run with the dedicated Nvidia card, which drains my battery within less than 4 hours. I don't think this is necessary.

Or, atleast the confidence heatmap of where I am...

Do something with the black on black icon thing going on.

SE has stopped launching at login, when that option is set. I can't work out if this is a code signing issue, or related to Yosemite.

I thought a89cd17 might fix it, but it hasn't.

When I run the app from /Applications and set 'Run SE at start up' in the preferences I see the following error:

24/10/2014 09:38:20.250 CoreServicesUIAgent[251]: unexpected message <OS_xpc_error: <error: 0x7fff79603c60> { count = 1, contents =
    "XPCErrorDescription" => <string: 0x7fff79603f70> { length = 18, contents = "Connection invalid" }
}>

Can anyone confirm if this happens on their build?

When I run Satellite Eyes, I get big CPU spikes in a sawtooth pattern unless I turn off the graphics switching capability under Energy Saver preferences. My logs get spammed with this, over and over, and the system becomes somewhat sluggish:
