This program is an animated wallpaper, which, although I don’t know why not, I didn’t know you could do animated wallpapers. If you go to the website, you will also find a screensaver by the same name, and while they look the same, I couldn’t swear that they were the same, and I don’t know if you need to buy both products.

In fireplace you are in a room lit only by the fire....and a candle [remember this-I’ll bring it up later and we might have a test 8)] Anyway room fireplace...next to fire is stack of firewood and a bellows, but for your piece of mind the computer keeps the fire going. On the shelves above is a clock with the current time and an open book. On the top shelf is several books and a candle. [I hope you remembered the candle-did you? Yes? Ok you passed the test] Candle flame is flickering and the was is dripping on book pages and thickening, which just goes to prove that flames and paper don’t really mix!

This program comes with a built-in desktop manager for ease of control, although aside from sounds, there aren’t a lot of options. By the way, although the image is very pretty, it looks created with an art program, rather than photo quality.
