Great extension! But it keeps defaulting back to Fahrenheit every so often. If it would stay on Celsius I'd rate 5 star.

its amazing and so much fun, would be better if it was moving but it's great.

Very good! It gives me a nice feeling, although I wish the dev would take it further. Maybe different times of day for different real times of day, or different weather conditions. It would increase the variety of the images exponentially of course, but it's just too good of an idea to not expect a lot from.
