Whether you have a soft spot for Christmas spheres of all kinds or you would like to add some gingerbread decorations onto your main screen, this app is ready to help you.

Inside this application you have a special section called "Tasks" where a few decorations are in store and they are meant to serve as personalized shortcuts for some apps that you might have installed, like Facebook or WhatsApp.

Fortunately, you can simply visit that page without taking other action than pressing the back button on your handset to return to the category listing and immediately become able to use the nice adornments.
