National Geographic Picture of the Day
by Mark
Displays the National Geographic Picture of the Day on your desktop. A description of the image is available in a slide out text area that can be positioned on any side of the Widget. Allows you to browse back and forth to previous pictures of the day. Double clicking any image opens the webpage to view the full size version. The frame and text can be coloured to your wishes, or hidden individually or together. Manual refreshes, refresh timers, and automatic Widget update checking are all configurable via the Widget preferences.

April 04, 2008 · version 2.73Better than the one of National Geographic
AlexI have tried both this one and that of national geographic, this is better! This has more preferences to choose from, it can be enlarged on your desktop whereas that of NG takes you to their site.
Well Done Mark!

There is actually an official National Geographic Photo of the Day widget, not this one
widget crazyA decent start back in the day, but National Geographic has come up with a better more robust widget. I saw it on:
http://widgets.nationalgeographic.com/widgets/ and also on facebook.

November 16, 2007 · version 2.73 MarkOK, the format of the web pages at National Geographic had changed. Version 2.73 has been submitted for upload, and will fix this problem, look for the update appearing in the gallery within the next week. There is no new functionality in this release.
