 Christmas is coming up in about a week, and of course in many parts of the world, the weather is turning colder, many places it's snowing, many of you guys that are running Linux are looking for a nice wintry desktop animation effect. And for those of you looking for a program to do this, there is one available. It's called X-Snow. Now all you need is a Linux desktop distribution that has the X11 display server installed. X-Snow is available in the Arch user repositories. If you're not using Arch, X-Snow may or may not be available for you in your Linux distribution repos, but you can build it from source. It's very easy. X-Snow, it has animated snow that falls on your monitors. If you're using multi monitors, you can set it to specific monitors. Also the snow does not cover up your application windows. It actually accumulates at the top of the windows a really nice effect. Also you can add Santa and reindeer. You can add birds flying around to the screen. You can add transparency. You can speed up the animations. It's a really neat little program that many of you guys don't know about. Happy holidays, guys. Peace.
