Product Description:

MacLampsX will place bulbs around the edges of your display. Users can create their own bulbs, as well as arranging the included ones as they choose. A number of other options, such as opacity, flashing, and bulb chase are available as well. Favorite setups can be saved as themes.

What's new in this version:

Added a welcome dialog
Added a screensaver, along with screensaver mode in MacLampsX
Added a basic music player
Added random flashing mode
Added support for multiple displays
Sides/corners of the screen can now be configured to be empty
Changed data handling for bulbs to reduce memory usage
Bulbs can now be dragged from the list, even in detail mode
The bulb list is now sorted alphabetically (as opposed to randomly)
Fixed a bug which caused opacity preferences to be ignored
MacLampsX now stops animation calls when you switch to another user account
Reorganized preferences to give more flexibility and control
Bulbs can now have a custom "preview image" that they draw in the list - useful for spacer bulbs, or bulbs bigger than 32x32
Bulbs now support irregular dimensions and more than two states
Began preparation for localization. Many English strings are now localizable, though there is still a lot left to do

For some reason, it no longer launches (running OS X 10.4.10). I immediately get the "unexpected quit" dialogue--the OS X equivalent of coal in my stocking. Too bad--I've always liked this. Good thing TreetopLights still works.
