Firewatch real time day/night cycle

Description
Real time Firewatch wallpaper that changes the day/night cycle as the day progresses.

Features
This wallpaper includes features such as:
  • A background that changes every 15 minutes to simulate real life day/night cycle accordingly. The wallpaper consists of 96 images. You can choose between 3 background types; the firewatch lake, the firewatch watchtower (distant) and the firewatch watchtower (close-up).
  • Slight particles effect in the background.
  • Clock - both 24 hour and 12 hour support and support for country specific date translations.
  • Current weather temperature (both celsius and fahrenheit support). The temperature updates every third hour. Remember to enter your own location/city when the wallpaper has been downloaded. This feature has to be enabled in the settings. If you choose to enter your own API key, the temperature updates every minute. Signing up for an API key can be done here: OpenWeatherMap[home.openweathermap.org]. Keep in mind that it will take a few hours for the key to be activated by OpenWeatherMap - be patient.
  • Firewatch's prologue song playing in the background (can be enabled/disabled).

For some odd reason, I can't move it on my tablet via Wallpaper Engine app. I made sure PC and tablet are connected.

Really love this wallpaper! It's exactly what I've been looking for (kinda what made me download Wallpaper Engine in the first place) but I was wondering if there's a way to auto-cycle between the different background options? I tried making a playlist and using presets but that didn't seem to work smoothly.

I would love to see effects based off of current weather conditions pulled from the internet and some tree sway maybe. I can only imagine how difficult that would be to do but its near perfect from what i was looking for. Great Job!

is it possible to add an option to change the clock's font to a monospace font ?

Hey man, the time on the clock is wrong for Mexico City, (CST)
Time in Mexico City, CDMX (UTC-6) it's one hour late.

Anyways, great wallpaper
