bidulock: The updated version is a better fit for the 'xsnow' name, so I've accepted the request to have this renamed to -legacy. Though... is this version still something we need to have around?

This version works fine, and always has. If you want the gtk3 version, use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xsnow-wv

@Alphajack

No, but I made you https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xsnow-wv that you can use instead.
