    Goodness gracious Night Lord, I can't believe you actually use that abomination of a program. If you want to be festive, do it with something tasteful, like a snowflake screensaver. I'll post mine up in a little while.

    Meh...I've been keeping my desktop decked out with Twilight Princess images Since, like, October. Maybe I'll grab an image of that Ice Dungeon for kicks.

    It's just a widget on the desktop. And I cannot seem to find a snow falling widget.

    Edit: Using my L33t ha><><0r skills (sorry), I downloaded a screensaver of snow, and using a command in the terminal (/System/Library/Frameworks/ScreenSaver.framework/Resources/ ScreenSaverEngine.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenSaverEngine -background) I set it as my desktop. Festive!

    I agree.

    However, about the falling snowflakes... I used to have a code that added them to InvisionFree forums (like mine), but I don't know where it went. It'd be cool to find again, though.

    Can you do that on a pc? That would be kinda neat.

    You can't :P

    I think you might be able to, actually. My sister is a mac wannabe. She has a Dell, but she downloaded some mac-ish operating system, so her desktop looks like a mac, full with the big ass icons hanging up on the top. I don't know much more about it, though.

    Screensaver backgrounds can severely slow down your computer. I just meant use a festive Christmasy screensaver, so it only comes up when you aren't using the computer. Blinking lights and falling snow can get in the way of productivity.

    Yeah, but it wouldn't be awesome then.

    Plus, my computer has 2 gigs of ram, I'm not worried about a little animated desktop slowing anything down.

    I need a mac....

    Yes. Yes you do.

    I could throw java applets or flash animations on my desktop. Animated gif files can do the trick too. That does not make it a good idea.
