DesktopSnowOK for Windows

Animated snowflakes, leaves, or other falling effects appear over the Windows desktop while the wallpaper and open work remain visible. DesktopSnowOK lets you adjust the effect’s appearance and movement, including how many flakes fall and how quickly they move.

What can fall across the desktop?

Snowflakes are the central effect, but DesktopSnowOK also offers leaves and other falling objects. Several bitmap textures change the flakes’ look, while an optional rotation setting adds turning motion. Alpha transparency is available to soften the objects against the desktop image.

The flake amount can be set from 5 to 2,000, and the falling speed is adjustable. These controls let you create a sparse, slow drift or a busier effect without changing the desktop wallpaper.

How can the animation stay out of the way?

An optional setting deactivates the falling effect when mouse movement or keyboard input occurs. With that option enabled, the animation can disappear during active computer use and return when interaction stops.

• Turn on deactivation for mouse movement, keyboard input, or both.
• Adjust speed, object amount, texture, rotation, and transparency to shape the display.

Does DesktopSnowOK need to be installed?

DesktopSnowOK is portable: it can run without a conventional installation and can be kept on removable storage. The program also includes multiple interface languages.

System requirements: Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, Windows 10, Windows 11 · 32-bit and 64-bit

Can DesktopSnowOK show anything besides snow?

Yes. It can display falling leaves and other objects as well as snowflakes.

Can the animation pause while I use the computer?

Yes. Enable the option to deactivate the effect during mouse movement or keyboard input.

Can I change how the snow looks and moves?

Yes. Adjust the amount and speed, choose among flake textures, and optionally enable rotation and alpha transparency.
