Turn your desktop into a winter wonderland with snow falling on the screen.

If you're looking for a way to enjoy the winter season without being outside in the snow or if your area doesn't see a lot of snow, then this program is one that you want to have on your computer. The background is blue, and there are white flakes that fall gently from the top of the screen to the bottom. You can keep snow on your desktop at any time of the year if you like the white precipitation.

You could say that this is a sweet app, one that can put you in the holiday spirit, or one that relaxes the mind while you're working on your computer. However, there aren't many options with the program as you can't really change a lot about the way that the snow looks or falls. The options menu does have a few different types of snow that can fall, such as small flakes or those that are a bit larger. You can also adjust how fast the snow falls on the screen.

One of the fun features is that you can make the snowflakes appear to be transparent. This brings out a bit of the blue background through the snowflakes, almost looking as though there is a light source. There is an option to stop the flakes whenever you want, which is convenient if you need to see a file on the desktop without flakes blocking your view. There are a few fun options with the program. You can select a variety of balls that fall on the screen, such as tennis balls. There is also an option to change to colored glass balls, similar to Christmas ornaments.
