Day / Night Map widget for Windows

The classic sunlight map, drawn locally from the same solar model the Sunrise & Sunset widget uses, so it needs no API and updates every minute as the terminator sweeps west. Pick a style (clean vector, flat, satellite or dots) or turn the whole thing into a 3D globe. The sun sits at the sub-solar point, twilight shows as soft bands, the night side is shaded to a darkness you control, and a thin line marks the terminator itself. Pin cities by name (about sixty are built in) or any spot by latitude and longitude, give a pin your own name ("Mum=London"), and search for your home city to mark it. Each pin shows whether it is day or night there, and its sunrise and sunset if you want them.
