3D Magic Christmas Toy Shop 4.2

The first thing you need to know about 3D Magic Christmas Toy Shop is what sort of application it is. From its name you can’t exactly tell. You can’t tell if it is a game, or a media player, or any other sort of application. That is why I am going to have to spell it out: 3D Magic Christmas Toy Shop is a screensaver. There’s a version of this screensaver for the Microsoft-developed Windows operating system and a version for the Apple-developed Mac OS X. We will focus on the Windows version here.

What does this screensaver display when it kicks in? This time the screensaver’s name offers a pretty big clue. As the name suggests, 3D Magic Christmas Toy Shop, displays Santa’s magic toy shop. You will see a room filled with Christmas goodies: toys, a Christmas tree, a dancing teddy bear, there’s even a dancing snowman (you can see the snowman in the background, behind the window).

That’s not all the screensaver displays. The sign on the counter, in the right hand side, displays the current date. The sign in the bottom left hand corner tells you how many days are left until Christmas. Next to this sign there’s a clock that displays the time.

The images the screensaver displays are accompanied by Christmassy music. From the screensaver’s Settings window you can adjust the music’s volume, or you can mute it altogether. You can also mute the music by turning the music volume down to zero. From the same Settings pane you can play with the tint, brightness, and “falling stuff.”

Should you decide to get 3D Magic Christmas Toy Shop, you will be glad to know that downloading it will not take long. The download weighs in at 6.5MB, which isn’t that much. Installing the application on your Windows-powered computer will not take long either.

Please note that 3D Magic Christmas Toy Shop is not offered free of charge. You can use the screensaver free of charge, but only for a trial period of 3 days. Once that trial period is over, you will have to get a license to keep using the application.
