Hello, friends. The New Year is coming soon and only the lazy don’t write on the Internet about New Year’s themes. I decided to join the general pre-holiday euphoria. I propose to land free live ones Christmas trees on the desktop computer.

You will find as many as 40 beautiful, cute Christmas trees in the archive. It's kind of small programs, which do not load the computer and constantly delight hearts, create a festive mood.

You can drag them around the entire screen and set their transparency. Also, it is possible to disable auto-loading of Christmas trees when the operating system starts, make them end-to-end (through any windows and applications) or show only on the desktop.

We get a set of forest beauties...

Click on any icon to place the Christmas tree on your desktop. She's already there - look...

The picture does not show the beauty of what is happening on the monitor screen - everything blinks, shimmers and sparkles. Each tree plays and sings in its own way.

By RIGHT-clicking on any beauty, call up a context menu in which you can set several parameters...

The first two points will not be needed, we will dwell on the rest in more detail...

Transparent - transparency as a percentage
OnTop - make the tree end-to-end, visible through any open window
StartUp - autoloading of the Christmas tree with the system. Be careful here! When you were choosing a beautiful Christmas tree, you probably installed several to try, right? What did you do with the trees you didn’t like - just press Exit? Congratulations - when Windows starts, your desktop will be littered with a bunch of Christmas trees! After all, they didn’t uncheck the “StartUp” box.
Add Xmas tree - clone, propagate Christmas trees on your desktop.
Exit - exit, closing.

I hope you liked the Christmas trees on your desktop? Happy New Year and all the best!

A small free program for adding 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 is just around the corner! Despite the fact that the weather (at least here) is not at all like New Year's, the spirit of the approaching holidays is still felt. There are already garlands, balls, rain hanging in all the windows 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 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 specifically to those who lack the feeling of a holiday in the Workplace.

Today we will start decorating the desktop of our computer for the New Year. And the first (and even most important) thing we need is, of course, to put a Christmas tree on it. Like the real one, it should be beautifully decorated with colorful balls, toys and garlands. We can get exactly such a Christmas tree by installing the program on our PC ChristmasTree.

Naturally, there are quite a lot of similar applications, but ChristmasTree differs from its analogues in the 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 application, Animated Christmas Tree for Desktop:

Comparison of the ChristmasTree program with its analogue Animated Christmas Tree for Desktop

The only thing that the ChristmasTree program lacks 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, standard).

Installing the ChristmasTree program

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 wizard’s prompts, and in fact confirm all the installer’s suggestions by clicking the “Next” button ;).

Launching and working with the program

Once the installation is complete, this translucent Christmas tree will appear on your desktop:

Under the tree there is a timer, which by default counts down until Catholic Christmas (December 25). Since we are accustomed to celebrating not Christmas, but New Year, the first thing we will do is reconfigure the timer. To do this, right-click to call up the context menu of our Christmas tree and in the “Due Date” section, select the “New Year” item:

Now you can start setting up the tree itself. To do this, just go to the context menu again 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 very bottom item: “Edit skin font...”. With it, you can enter the menu for setting the appearance of the program timer and adjust the type and color of its font.

Setting up the sound

The final step in setting up ChristmasTree is choosing the soundtrack. The program allows you to play a piece of music of your choice every hour or half 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: in the upper part the frequency of playback of a musical fragment is indicated (every hour/half an hour/never), and in the lower part the sound theme itself is selected.

Installing a garland

The decoration of the Desktop could be completed at this point, but we will not stop there! What's a holiday without sparkling garlands? Well, for example, at least these:

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

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

Setting up a garland

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

First of all (number “1” on the screen) we select the type of light bulbs. Standard snowflakes didn’t seem like a very good choice to me, so I advise you to install the “Normal” skin. Under the “Bulbs” list, I also advise you to remove the burnout effect (the “Burn Out” checkbox), then all the “bulbs” will work.
The next step is to set the “light bulbs” switching mode (section “Flashing Mode” under number “2”). I can’t give universal advice here. For example, I liked the “Random” (random flickering) and “Alternating” (“running” lights) modes most of all.
The third step will be to set the colors of the light 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 all that remains is to apply all the changes. To do this, click the “Apply” button and admire the result.

Additionally, you can configure the blinking speed of the “lights” (section “Flash Rate”), startup (checkbox “Startup Options”), etc.

You can also set background music, although only in MIDI format. To do this, you need to place a file with your favorite melody in the folder with the program. 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 wide range, for example, .

Snowfall on desktop

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

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

Now you can look at the results of our efforts:

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

conclusions

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