Deskfall
Let it snow on your desktop.
Snow piles up on top of your windows and taskbar. The lights twinkle, a little snowplow clears the way, and you build snowmen with your mouse. Free and open source.
Deskfall

- Drag a window quickly and the snow falls off.

Winter, without getting in your way
Snow that piles up
Flakes land on the visible top edge of every window and drape over the rounded corners. Move a window fast and the snow tumbles onto whatever is below.
Snowmen with your mouse
Roll a snowball along the taskbar, stack two or three, and they get a carrot nose, a scarf and eyes that follow your cursor.
A snowplow that comes by
Every minute or two it clears the taskbar. Click it to send it away, or block it with a snowman and it turns around.
Holiday lights
Twinkling lights along the top of every window, only the active one, or none at all.
Quiet when you work
It pauses on any screen with a maximized or fullscreen window, never covers the taskbar and clicks always go through to your apps.
Every screen, every setting
Works across multiple monitors. Intensity, wind and everything else live in the tray menu, in English or Turkish.
