Znow Desktop Decoration

Znow Desktop Decoration is a very simple Windows application that creates a dynamic decoration for your desktop, offering multiple effects with various configuration options.

It performs only a simple task, so users should have absolutely no problem to work with it, which can only be good news for beginners who wish to place some eye-candy effects on their desktop.

The list of available scenes include a snow fall, rain, a so-called “dream of beer” that bring some beer bubbles on the screen, fall of fire, Bengal lights, color fishes and many others.

What's more important is that Znow Desktop Decoration offers multiple configuration options in the main window, so you can even use the program as screensaver and turn the effects on after a user-defined period of time. Plus, you can lockdown computer on resume thanks to a dedicated option in this regard.

There are multiple effect options to choose from, such as water drops, pixelate and inverse, while separate sliders let you adjust darkening and vertical and horizontal shift.

Last but not least, a so-called “Rest mode” feature to enable the app at a user defined time is also available, again with very easy to configure options.

Although it doesn't provide a help manual, everything's pretty easy to use, so you should encounter no problems when trying to figure out how to use the program. It works okay on most Windows versions, but on Windows 7 it disables the Aero interface because of compatibility issues.

Overall, Znow Desktop Decoration is an interesting piece of software that could entertain some of the users, but it could also slow down the system a little bit due to compatibility problems.
