Product Description:

X-MasTree is a small (or medium, or large) floating Christmas tree for your desktop. Since YourHead software, maker of Christi's Tree, seems to have dropped off the face of the earth, I thought I would write a new Christmas tree app.

What's new in this version:

  • Colored Trees! Woo-boy.
  • Decided to go for broke and use high quality images. It increased the file size, but hey, it's Christmas.
  • New lights. You can still use the old style if you want, however
  • Much needed popcorn strands option added.
  • Purple ornaments added. Dunno why they weren't in there in the first place.
  • If no lights are set to blink/fade, X-MasTree will treat your CPU very nicely.
  • Toggling the shadow no longer leaves weird dropouts behind.
  • Added the option to set Christmas to the 24th for some European nations.
  • Japanese localization added courtesy of Yuzuru Shiraiwa
  • Lots and lots of code cleanup, if you care about those things.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

Just downloaded it and decorated my tree this morning! Was wondering yet again about updates to Christi's Tree and bummed they're not doing it anymore, and found John's version, which is more fun. I find it very stable and happy on my desktop. I also noted, for my unfortunate co-workers who are on PCs, that there is NO Christmas tree for PCs at all! Hahahahaha! What scrooges. Thanks John! Love, MK

I don't have a new Mac and I do not have any CPU problems with X-MasTree. John makes lots of fun stuff and makes it right. Thanks for developing software again, John. You spend the time to make all of your applications user friendly, right down to the little things.

X-MasTree CommentaryNot hogging MY CPU - Version: 1.1, 12/14/2004 10:17AM PST

I've seen a lot of comments about excessive CPU loads, and frankly, I never saw it use more than about 4% on my computer. I even have some of the fading lights turned on which the author states WILL drag the CPU down. Haven't tried 1.2 yet, but I hope nothing is disabled. Cheers to John for responding quickly to user requests, even if they don't affect everyone. Viva la StimpSoft!
