3D Interactive Santas House 1.0

The 3D Interactive Santa's House download weighs in at 2.6MB, which is quite lightweight. At such a lightweight download, getting the screensaver off the web and onto your computer will only take a moment – even if you have to contend with a less than spectacular internet connection.

Speaking of things that will be complete in a moment, installing the screensaver will be done in a blink as well. All you have to do is launch the executable you downloaded, follow the instructions presented by the setup wizard, and you will be done before you know it.

Once you are done with that, you will have an interactive screensaver on your hands. Whenever your computer goes idle, the screensaver will kick in and display a Christmassy image on your desktop. By that I mean you will see a Christmas tree in the left hand and another Christmas three in the right hand corner, a house decorated for Christmas with Santa, elves and teddy bears dancing inside, a gingerbread man a snowman dancing outside.

You can interact with the Christmas trees, teddy bears, elves, and Santa. Click on Santa for example and he will start to laugh and say “Merry Christmas!”. Click on the Christmas trees and Christmas lights will show up. Click in the teddy bears and they will start to spin.

The screensaver allows you to tweak a few settings. From the settings menu you can:
- Adjust the sound volume, access instructions on how to get the screensaver to play your own tracks.
- Adjust the brightness.
- Adjust the tint.
- Adjust the time of day.

Pros

• Downloads and installs rapidly
• Adjust the volume, brightness and tint
• Use your own tracks
• There’s a Windows and a Mac version

Cons

• Free to try (7-day trial)
• Nag screen
