Forum Display Enhancements - Snowflakes for your forum

This little hack uses an HTML marquee to add snowflakes to your header template. It is fully customizable unlike the java one I have seen on this forum.



Instructions:

- Upload snow.gif to /forum/images/SKIN/misc

- Check snowflakes.txt for instructions

---------------------

TO ADD MORE SNOW AND ADJUST POSITION.

Add this code under the rest of the code.

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="down" scrollamount="3" style="position:absolute; left:200px; top:20px; width:25px; height:230px; z-index:1;"><span class="snowflakes"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/snow.gif"></span></marquee>

NOTE: THAT CODE IS FOR ONE SNOWFLAKE! KEEP REPEATING THE CODE TO ADD MORE.

- To adjust the snowflakes position, adjust "left" and "top" option shown in green below. To adjust the speed of the snowflake adjust the "scrollamount" shown in red below.

<marquee behavior="scroll" direction="down" scrollamount="3" style="position:absolute; left:200px; top:20px; width:25px; height:230px; z-index:1;"><span class="snowflakes"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/snow.gif"></span></marquee>

Add the code multiple times and adjust the options to get an awesome snowfall! It is a bit time consuming but it's worth it!

For a skin with this code used check here: [Winter Snowfall]

Updates:

v2: Did the code to get most users started on it. Instead of having to do ALL of the code, most of it is written for you.

I can think of no reason why I couldn't have bombs or turkeys falling from the sky, too. Right?

Sure, just replace the image.

I suppose with Christmas time coming up again, this might get used again.
