here i edited it a tad 1 sec

BAH! cant do it

[chronster]

what were you trying to do?

[hibby50]

Change the background to a ppcgeeks one but i replaced the file which i thought would do it but it didnt

[w0rdie]

It's a neat little effect (I've actually used it on my site for years now) but I have to disable it -- way too heavy on the CPU.

[hibby50]

yea i had to disable it here.... i was running 80-100 cpu and my lappy was gettin really hot

[chronster]

Wow really? I only see lag after I have over 1000 snow flakes on the screen, and I'm on an entry level amd cpu.

@Hibby: To change the background, just open snow.html with a notepad, and change:
background-image: url('snow.jpg');

'snow.jpg' is the file location, and since it's in the same folder, there's no need for like 'C:\blahblah\snow.jpg'

So basically, if you want to change the image, just drag the image into the folder, then replace snow.jpg with the filename, but be sure to keep the 's around the filename.

Or a real easy way is to just find a jpg file and rename it to snow.jpg, and drop it into the folder and replace the existing snow.jpg.

Also, you can change snow2.gif within ms paint, but as long as the filename is snow2.gif it's fine. you can point to a different file within snow.js.

My favorite part is that in UserCP I can change it back to a display without it.

Reminds me of the white flys in Camarillo California. They make it look like it is snowing.
