XKCD-clock

XKCD comics shared a world map as clock that would show roughly what time it is everywhere in the world. Then that inspired J15R to make the xkclock. I always wanted to have a dynamic wallpaper that wouldn't be heavy on the processor. I found J15R's xkclock and decided to turn it XKCD's world clock into wallpaper.
