Time for xsnow

[The Cog]

For those who haven't seen it before:

sudo apt-get install xsnow
xsnow

I don't know if it will work with unity though.

It doesn't work on a lot of stuff now. As long as you have desktop effects enabled, or anything with compositing, it won't work. You can't have two compositers running at the same time.

And we'll need a new version for wayland :P

That's a shame. It still works nicely on Xubuntu (for now at least).

The snow module works on E17 , but I haven't tried with Unity or the Gnome Shell.

xsnow does not work on Xubuntu 11.10 with display compositing enabled. It brings good memories.

Has anyone got this to work on 12.10? I can't see the snowflakes falling onto the bottom of the screen, does this mean no christmas?!
