TreetopLights is an AppleScript Studio application that places a Christmas tree on the desktop and holiday lights on the menubar or screen edges.
The desktop tree can be decorated with blinking or fading lights, ornaments, a treetop star, and perhaps some snow.

The ambient lighting can be controlled for the appearance of a dimly or brightly lit room, and the transparency and size of the tree can be set to keep it out of the way, or set the perfect holiday mood.

The optional but festive menubar lights can blink or glow to decorate the menubar, or even go around the screen. A countdown timer displaying days until Christmas and the twelve days of Christmas is also included for on-tree display. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
