Desktop wallpaper animated Christmas tree. Master class "Christmas tree animation on the desktop"

A small free program to add a cute Christmas tree to your computer screen. The set also includes garlands and almost real snow, which gradually covers the elements of the desktop.

New Year's Eve! Despite the fact that the weather (at least for us) is by no means New Year's Eve, the spirit of the upcoming holidays is still felt. Garlands, balls, rain and, of course, there are Christmas trees everywhere! The latter, perhaps, are the main symbols of the New Year.

Surely, every year you dress up the forest beauties, who, with their appearance, give you joy during all the New Year holidays.

However, many today spend most of their time at the computer and, accordingly, do not have the opportunity to see their decorated Christmas tree. Therefore, I want to dedicate today's article to those who lack the feeling of a holiday at the Workplace.

Today we will deal with the New Year's decoration of the Desktop of our computer. And the first (and even most important) thing we need is, of course, to put a Christmas tree on it. Like a real one, it should be beautifully decorated with colorful balls, toys and garlands. We can get just such a Christmas tree by installing the program on our PC christmas tree.

Naturally, there are quite a few such applications, but ChristmasTree differs from analogues in a large number of skins, settings, and most importantly, the presence of a timer that counts down the time until the holidays! The program's closest competitor is another free Animated Christmas Tree for Desktop application:

Comparison of ChristmasTree with Animated Christmas Tree for Desktop

The only thing missing from ChristmasTree is the ability to adjust the transparency of the Christmas tree on the desktop. However, despite this, it has several ready-made translucent skins (for example, the standard one).

Installing ChristmasTree

To install a virtual Christmas tree on your desktop, you will need to run the file from the downloaded archive ChristmasTree17.exe and follow the prompts of the wizard, but essentially confirm all the installer's suggestions by clicking the "Next" button;).

Starting and working with the program

Upon completion of the installation, the following translucent Christmas tree will appear on your desktop:

There is a timer under the Christmas tree, which by default counts down to the Catholic Christmas (December 25). Since we are used to celebrating not Christmas, but the New Year, the first thing we will do is reset the timer. To do this, right-click to call the context menu of our Christmas tree and in the "Due Date" section, check the "New Year" item:

Now you can take up the setting of the tree itself. To do this, just go back to the context menu and in the "Skins" section select one of the options for the appearance of our Christmas tree (although balls and even New Year's socks are also available here :)):

In the same section, pay attention to the bottommost item: "Edit skin font ...". With it, you can enter the menu for setting the appearance of the program timer and set the type and color of its font.

Setting the soundtrack

The final touch of setting up ChristmasTree will be the choice of soundtrack. The program allows you to play your chosen piece of music every hour or half an hour (three options are available). To configure it, go to the “Sounds” section in the ChristmasTree context menu:

Here the menu is divided into two parts: the upper one indicates the frequency of playing a musical fragment (every hour / half an hour / never), and the lower one selects the sound theme itself.

Installing a garland

On this, the decoration of the Desktop could be completed, but we will not stop there! What is a holiday without sparkling garlands? Well, for example, at least such:

Do you want such a garland to appear at the top of your monitor? Then unzip the Holiday Lights folder from the downloaded archive to your desktop! Since the program was written back in the days of Windows 95, unpacking to the Desktop is the main requirement. Otherwise, the application will not start and will give an error!

Despite some primitiveness at first glance, Holiday Lights still has a sufficient number of various settings. You can call them by left-clicking on the program icon in the system tray or from its context menu (“Options” item):

Setting up a garland

So that you don't "get lost" in the numerous English-language settings, I specifically noted the key parameters in the screenshot. So:

First of all (number "1" on the screen) select the type of light bulbs. Standard snowflakes seemed to me not a very good choice, so I advise you to install the “Normal” skin. Under the “Bulbs” list, I also advise you to remove the burnout effect (“Burnt Out” checkbox), then all the “bulbs” will be working.
The next step is to set the “light bulbs” switching mode (section “Flashing Mode” numbered “2”). I can't give you general advice here. For example, I liked the modes “Random” (random flicker) and “Alternating” (“running” lights) the most.
The third step is to set the colors of the bulbs (section "Color" numbered "3"). Here I advise you to choose either "Random" or "MultiColor", based on the principle "the more (more colorful;)) - the better"!
Now it remains only to apply all the changes. To do this, click the "Apply" button and admire the result.

Additionally, you can set the blinking speed of the "light bulbs" ("Flash Rate" section), autoload ("Startup Options" checkbox), etc.

You can also set background music, however, only in MIDI format. To do this, you need to place a file with your favorite melody in the program folder. Then, in the “Music” section, activate the “Play Music” checkbox and select the song you added from the list below. You can download MIDI in a large assortment, for example,.

Snowfall on the desktop

The final touch in creating a New Year's mood for your desktop will be launching from the downloaded program archive Snow.exe. This application does not have any settings, but only one window with information about the name and the author-developer.

Thanks to this program, “real” snow will begin to fall on your desktop, which will gradually “fall asleep” on all interface elements. To stop the "snowfall" simply close the Snow window.

Here you can see the results of our efforts:

To heighten the effect, of course, you can change the desktop background image to something New Year's. You can download beautiful Christmas wallpapers, for example,.

conclusions

I hope that after all the simple manipulations I have described above, the New Year mood will still come to you and will not leave you until the end of all the holidays! Happy New Year and Merry Christmas everyone!
