Save. Then in your ACP go to Styles > Templates > on your style REFRESH it and it should work.

At the top of that script you will see

Code: Select all

 // Configure below to change number of snow to render
  var no = 10;
You can change the 10 to how many flakes you want to show on your screen each time.

Place your snow flake in the images directory of your forum and here are 2 snow flakes you can use just make sure the image is called snow.gif and it will work. You can use your own flake but name the image as snow.gif for it to work.

To turn the flakes off when you dont want them but without removing the whole code just change the number '10' in the code to '0' like in the code below.

Code: Select all

// Configure below to change number of snow to render
  var no = 0;
Here are 2 snow flake images
snow.gif
snow.gif (256 Bytes) Viewed 5292 times
snow1.gif
snow1.gif (425 Bytes) Viewed 5292 times

well i don't know if this will work, but try this... find this line

Code: Select all

  var snowsrc="./images/snow.gif"
and maybe add another line just like it below, just change the url and or just the gif name!
