You can personalize your computer with quite the variety of elements, or change its default layout completely through the power of third-party components. On the other hand, you can simply add more screensavers to your collection, and in case you’re looking for something to remind you of winter, Snow Desktop Screensaver can do just fine.

The setup package it comes in takes you through a few effortless steps to make sure it properly integrates in your system. The system screensaver settings panel shows up immediately after you’re done setting it up.

Snow Desktop Screensaver is selected as the default option, but needless to say that you’re free to choose another. You can initiate a preview through regular means, but don’t interact with your PC in the meantime so that the preview remains on screen.

The screensaver benefits from all default settings of such an item, in the sense that you can adjust the time before preview kicks in, and whether or not to bring up the log-on screen when resuming, so nobody can snoop through your files while you’re away. Unfortunately, the program doesn’t come with its own security option, or any method of allowing interaction without closing the screensaver.

You also find a few options packed inside the screensaver. Although you can’t interact with it directly, fullscreen preview is triggered while the settings panel is up, with real-time updating changes. As such, you get a clear view when adjusting the size of snowflakes, speed at which they fall, density, and background.

Bottom line is that Snow Desktop Screensaver enhances the screen while you’re away with a variety of cool, psychedelic background pictures on which snowflakes gently fall. It’s easy to get it deployed, while the set of configurations lets you adjust behavior and some visual effects.
