Impressive fireworks over the skyline of New York, Washington DC, London, Berlin, Moscow, Toronto, Seattle, Paris, Prague or Stockholm, the capital of Sweden. Realistic and live backdrop with snowfall, moving clouds in different altitudes, colors and light that changes dynamically and seamlessly during the day. And of course stunning fireworks that light up in the sky.

In the full version you can customize:
- change city between New York (Manhattan), London, Moscow, Kiev, Paris, Berlin, Seattle, Toronto, Prague and Stockholm - additional selection of non-city scene Seoraksan National Park, South Korea (설악산국립공원, 雪嶽山國立公園) - number of rockets - turn on / off sounds - particle count of explosions - length of trails (from zero to infinite) - explosion flash intensity (or no flash) - moon size and position - snowflake count and color - any time of day or dynamic time (real time) - speed of clouds - turn on/off high and low clouds - true color (24 bit) option
If you're an advanced user you can also select your own image as the backdrop. In order to make it look good you will have to use a PNG file of a city/landscape with the sky cut out (transparent, alpha 0) and also the sides of the image has to be a power of two length (256, 512, 1024 etc). They don't have to be equal though. E.g. a png file with the dimensions 1024x512 will work fine.
