It is based on the new Apple TV screen saver that displays the aerial movies Apple shot over New York, San Francisco, Hawaii, China, etc.\n\nAs John's work, **Aerial For Windows** is open source.\n\n## Installation\n\n### Using the Setup\n\nExecute the latest setup (*.msi) from the [Releases page](https://github.com/thoemmi/AerialForWindows/releases).\n\nAfter successful installation the setup will open the **Screen Saver Settings** automatically.\n\n### Manual Installation\n\n1.
