Snow3 is a screensaver that puts a snow storm on your desktop. The falling snowflakes will accumulate in the lower part of your screen, and on every obstacle they find in their fall, like icons or text. Through the Settings you can specify the color of the snow, how heavy the storm is, the type of flakes, their transparency, the falling direction, the turbulence caused by the wind and the background you want the screensaver to show when it becomes activated. The program provides two backgrounds, but you can specify any image you want. You can opt to use this program with text and commands in English, German or Italian. You will also be able to set the screensaver to restart after a certain period. The screen will be wiped from snow, and the flakes will begin to fall again. The Settings can be accessed through the Window´s Screensaver Properties, or entering the Snow3 group in the Start Menu. You can also preview how the screensaver works by double-clicking on the direct access icon it will leave on the desktop.
