This looks interesting.  I wish my weather forecast looked like that! 
Is your screensaver ready for sharing?  I'm interested in doing
something with the Earth View Images that can be created here:

My thought is to have the image update once or twice a minute via a
script that's either running continuously in the background or is
started and stopped by the screensaver.  I'm guessing you're doing
something similar by generating the displayed image frequently in the
background in order to keep the displayed time correct.  I never got far
with a dedicated screensaver to do this (displaying the image was
straightforward, but triggering updates eluded me), but your mention of
the image viewer makes perfect sense.  Do you simply point to a specific
folder and just make sure that that folder only contains the current
image?  Does the current image have to have a constantly updated
filename in order for the screensaver to switch to the current image?
