There still is no update for Snow Leopard unfortunately.

From the developer's web site:
"I'm sorry to announce that, due to a OS bug, Startrail does not work on Snow Leopard. To be a little more specific, there is a certain case in which apps stop receiving mouse movements (if you want me to be more technical, please email me). Obviously this is the case for Startrail. I filed the bug to Apple, but since it is a very specific bug, I don't know when or wether it will be fixed. I'm very sorry, I tried some workaround but none of them seems to work. So please be advised that if you intend to upgrade to Snow Leopard, Startrail will not work anymore.
If you bought a license for Startrail after Snow Leopard release, please email me for a refund."

More & more options each update!
Still rock solid on my iMac Dual Core (MacInel) with OSX 10.4.10 v1.1
Excellent work!
P.s. Still a minor cosmetic issue of the "About" window hiding behind other open windows. But so minor that it's no biggee!

The animation runs very smoothly, and the easy-to-use preferences screen makes it simple to customize the particle colors, shapes, sizes, etc.
You can also pause the star effect and make a quick burst of stars appear via key command which is nice.
All in all, a fantastic app!

What can I say, I already liked it, now it's even better with options and key commands.
And if your into it Matteo Manferdini (Pawn Software), I have 2 suggestions.
1) Colour control, pick a colour or randomize it or leave it to cycle as is now.
2) Shape control, pick a standard shape (star , circle, square, cross , triangle or whatever)
Great work, Matteo Manferdini , keep it up!

My only suggestion is that you try to alter the graphics so that the cursor leaves behind more of a narrow trail than a series of wide bursts.
+5
Preferences:
Allow for a user defined delay before star bursting.
Allow a used defined movement (number of pixels) before star bursting.
Allow a key sequence to toggle it on and off.
Tie amount or stars to acceleration of mouse.
Have a key sequence to burst stars so I can find my cursor.
And on and on.
