3D Interactive Holiday Candles 4.0

The 3D Interactive Holiday Candles screensaver is very similar to 3D Interactive Kwanza Candles, a screensaver I’ve put to the test not too long ago. Here the similarities:

Download and installation
Downloading and installing any of these two screensavers take little time to complete. The 3D Interactive Kwanza Candles download weighs in at a mere 2.3MB and the 3D Interactive Holiday Candles download weighs in at 5.7MB. Installing any of the two screensavers requires you to lunch the executable you downloaded and follow the instructions presented by the setup wizard – you’ll be done in a blink.

Candles
The 3D Interactive Kwanza Candles presented 7 candles that lit up in sequence. On each candle a principle of Kwanza was written in English and Kiswahili. On the middle candle for example you could see “Umoja” and “Unity” After some time, the writing on the candle will peel off and float away. You can interacti with the candles – click on a candle to put it out, click again to light it back up.

The 3D Interactive Holiday Candles screensaver also displays 7 candles that lit up in sequence. You can see text on each candle as well. The text on the middle candle says “Peace on Earth”. The text will float off as well. You can interact with the candles by clicking on them as well.

Music, brightens, tint
Both screensavers play music in the background. From the Settings menu both screensavers let you adjust the music volume by moving a slider left or right. Move it to the right to increase the volume, move it to the left to decrease it. Move it all the way to the left and you will mute the music.

Both screensavers present instructions on how you can get them to play your own music. Click the “Change to Your Music” button and follow the instructions presented there.

Both screensavers let you adjust the brightness and tint.

Limited trial period
Both screensavers can be used free of charge for only a few days. 3D Interactive Kwanza Candles for 5 days and 3D Interactive Holiday Candles for 3 days.

What about the differences? Here they are:
- The candles are white in 3D Interactive Holiday Candles; they were colored in 3D Interactive Kwanza Candles.
- The background is different.
