Snow Script

RogerB · December 1, 2012

It's that time of year again so I thought I would share a script I found last year. Really easy to use.

<!--Simply copy and paste into <BODY> 
	 Just above the </BODY> tag. -->
<script type="text/javascript">
/*
Snow Fall 1 - no images - Java Script
Visit http://rainbow.arch.scriptmania.com/scripts/
 for this script and many more
*/
// Set the number of snowflakes (more than 30 - 40 not recommended)
var snowmax=35
// Set the colors for the snow. Add as many colors as you like
var snowcolor=new Array("#aaaacc","#ddddff","#ccccdd","#f3f3f3","#f0ffff")
// Set the fonts, that create the snowflakes. Add as many fonts as you like
var snowtype=new Array("Times","Arial","Times","Verdana")
// Set the letter that creates your snowflake (recommended: * )
var snowletter="*"
// Set the speed of sinking (recommended values range from 0.3 to 2)
var sinkspeed=0.6
// Set the maximum-size of your snowflakes
var snowmaxsize=30
// Set the minimal-size of your snowflakes
var snowminsize=8
// Set the snowing-zone
// Set 1 for all-over-snowing, set 2 for left-side-snowing
// Set 3 for center-snowing, set 4 for right-side-snowing
var snowingzone=1
