Falling snow

[WillieN]

I remember seeing a while back a way of putting falling snow on the background of a website using WD7.

I have searched the Forum, but cannot find how to do it.

Can anyone help please?

Your zip file seems to have gone AWOL?

Only popped out for a cuppa ... patience

Just got it from the demos folder. Works great. Thanks!

I thought I'd see if I could do something by just using XDP so this evening I threw this together. Enjoy

XAR files attached for those inclined to delve further! Feel free to use if you wish

• snow_xmas_card.xar
• snow.swf (flash XAR is 9.5Mb, so not attached)
• (font file not attached but you can easily find your own Gothic typeface on Dafont)

That's nicely done, l will definitely be inclined to delve further. Thanks for sharing

Just came across the effect that neodeist posted, and LOVE it! Using it on http://www.tilthenight.com/home.htm at the moment.
Couple things though, for one it doesn't seem to work at all in Internet Explorer, is this to be expected? And in Google Chrome, some of the flakes come in as white boxes, however when previewing the page in Google Chrome from Xara it's flawless. Also Flawless in FireFox.

Also, Would it be possible to do this on a ProBoards based forum where I only have control of the sites headers and footers? http://www.thegreysonchanceforum.com

Thanks!
