HIMAWARI-8 DESKTOP WALLPAPER APPLET

This is cool: Chaidhat Chaimongkol has made a Java applet that downloads the latest Himawari-8 imagery from the Japan Meterological Agency and applies color correction based on or inspired by my post on this very subject. It then saves it as a desktop wallpaper, continuously updating as new imagery is released.

Himawari8SatDesktop Java applet by Chaidhat Chaimongkol.

I have not tried it yet as it will require some version of Java runtime environment. I'm looking for a portable implementation that will not need to be installed in Windows 10, possibly jPortable64 or OpenJDK JRE Portable 64-bit.

Here is an animation, presumably made from individual frames:

  1. Thank you for your post covering my program and for the inspiration, it was fun making it - hopefully someone can make it for Windows :)

    Kind regards,
