Snj�r

there is also the program called Snö that does the same thing only the snow comes down as flakes as opposed to these small white orbs. i cant decide which i like better ... just your preference i guess

No Dual Monitor suppot *sniff* *pout* :( Other than that it's a fun little app.

Yep! That fixes the problem! Thanks for pointing it out Fjölnir!

To all those wondering why the snowflakes ignore their windows: I forgot to put in a message saying that "Access for assistive devices" must be enabled for the snow to land on windows. Hope that clears things up :)

(System Preferences->Accessibility)

Wow Evan... Bah Humbug... we get it!

I got the accumulation thing figured out now...

If you have checked for accumulation on window tops, and it still isnt working check this:

System Prefs - Universal Access - √ Enable access for Assistive devices

Thanks to NK for the quick email response!

Cool, you can get Jessica Simpson to snow on your desktop?

you could also choose not to read it..

is it just me or does no one give a rats ass about this snowfall crap? You keep posting about snowfall, we get it! Really? You mean I can get a screensaver that looks like snow? WOW! It can snow over my desktop? Holy shit, damn I am glad I went mac! Wait, you mean this is on every operating system and has been for the past 10 years? Well I still think TUAW should devote at least 5 more posts to it anyways. Why stop at snow, why not post about every screen saver ever made?
Whats next, a post about jessica simpson, myspace and ponies?

OK, so I have the checkbox for landing on windows activated, but still, no accumulation. What gives? Am I missing something here?

For the snowflakes to land on the window it has to be an active window, otherwise the flakes ignore it. When they pile up on the window and you then make that window inactive (such as clicking on your desktop) the flakes all continue falling.

Very cool.
