Description:
 Some eye candy for the holidays, including
lights, trees, snowmen, pumpkins, flying sleighs
and witches.

This is along the lines of xsnow/xpenguins, and
allows you to set themeable decorations on the
desktop, you can choose ( at the moment ) either
Halloween or Xmas themes or you can add your own.
You can set the speed of the various parts of the
theme and their positions, either from the command
line or from a config file, ( there is a
documented default config file included ).

This works with a number of different WM\\\'s, but
please see the INSTALL file for details on
building/running and some work arounds.

As this software is pretty much desktop agnostic
please download it from here:

Please see the INSTALL file for basic usage and
the documented .rc config file.
