Ah, just in time for the holidays! Sean Alexander has released an updated Yule Log Visualization for Windows Media Player. Originally released as a part of the
Windows Media Bonus Pack for Windows XP, this visualization is simply a fireplace complete with crackling logs and dancing flames perfect for bringing a bit of holiday spirit to our PCs.
Although the Yule Log was a popular visualization for XP users, it had not been updated for later versions of Windows. But now, thanks to Sean’s (
unofficial) version, you can enjoy this holiday treat once again.
To install, first
download the executable (works for both 32 and 64-bit versions of Windows), then go to Now Playing –> Visualization –> Yule Log. Now, just play your music!
If you want to tweak the effects, choose "Options", then select the Yule Log Visualization and click the Properties button. There you'll find a slider for sensitivity which you can adjust.
Thanks, Sean, and happy holidays to all!
