ok, quite a lot of people have asked me how I did this, so I decided to give away the code for this little gimmick. All you have to do is copy-paste the code below into the content of your userpage and you'll have yourself some nice snowflakes. Note that I didn't make this little piece of code but ripped it from another site. Also, I wouldn't mind if you didn't credit me for ripping it XD. I thought it looked nice with the colors in my userpage ^^
An example of this at work is of course at my userpage. Also, if anyone can provide me with a better snowflake, I'd be honored to use it. Make sure the snowflake is 24x24 pixels in size and is still recognizable as a snowflake XD
Here's the code. Copy-paste EVERYTHING after this:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript1.2"><!--
//Edit the next few lines to suit your page. Recommended values are:
//numFlakes = 10; downSpeed = 0.01; lrFlakes = 10;
var pictureSrc = 'http://www.boomspeed.com/gamefish/snow.gif'; //the location of the snowflakes
var pictureWidth = 20; //the width of the snowflakes
var pictureHeight = 20; //the height of the snowflakes
var numFlakes = 25; //the number of snowflakes
var downSpeed = 0.01; //the falling speed of snowflakes (portion of screen per 100 ms)
var lrFlakes = 10; //the speed that the snowflakes should swing from side to side
//relative to distance fallen (swing increases with fewer
//snowflakes to fill available space)
//--></script>
