HolidayDesktop is a simple and interesting app. It was created solely to remind you of those happy seasonal moments and display an interesting and cheerful message on your desktop. The animation is supposed to help you get in the mood and celebrate the event in question as much as you can. There is literally no interface attached to this app, just two option menus. The application is one simple EXE file which you have to execute in order to see the desktop bonanza.

For most holidays, which have a specific date, it's quite easy. For your birthday, however, you have to adjust the settings accordingly in the options menu. It's fast and hassle-free, and, while you're at it, look through some other options as well. You can easily add or change the way those celebration messages are displayed on your desktop. They are pretty nice and have the effect of putting you in a celebratory mood.

There are quite a few of settings one can change, despite this being a very simple application. You can create your own special message by browsing for a central image to be displayed in the center of the desktop enhancement and some auxiliary picture files to be displayed around the central one. This makes customization quite easy, so you don't have to stick to the basics. You can also decide what the interval between the different pictures shown around will be, as well as how long the various images are displayed.

HolidayDesktop is one of the simplest apps available out there. It does not have much functionality, but it sure can cheer you up on those celebratory days. Since this is itself quite a lot, if you come to think about it, it is fair to say that if you are one of those users who constantly seek innovative and interesting apps that don't necessarily have a lot of functions, then this one is definitely meant for you.
