Description: A simple application, that you may share with people, you care for, as a Christmas gift. A picture of a Christmas tree (the one, that they set up on the market place of the village, where I squat for now more than four years) with colored balls and a message text, all of this full customized by the user. You may use the default text "Merry Christmas" available as selection in 10 languages or any text, that you enter yourself; a second personal text may also be added, Several font colors and sizes are possible. The message may be chosen as static, blinking or displayed by adding one letter at a time. Several shapes and colors are available for the Christmas balls, the same for all of them, several color-groups or random. As the balls are in fact lights, you may choose them being static or blinking, and this following one of several possible patterns: all together, alternate groups, randomly. And this by the frequency, that you prefer...
