    Default Christmas skin

    Any chance we can have the old Christmas skin, with the falling snow, Tosa? It always makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.

    Was there not a problem last year with the snow?

    I can't remember any problem. Even if the snow can't be made to work, maybe we could have the red and green, with the festive icons?

    Your memory serves you well.

    Yes, there was. The Javascript used back then was a resourcemonster.

    I thought so

    The falling snow was nice, you could also have the snow building up in the corners, like it does on windows.

    What was the effect like? I was picturing a simple tiled animated GIF background. Did you have something more complicated?

    I also share BKS's longing for that warm fuzzy feeling...
    Couldn't we get it just like an additional skin (i.e., non-default one), and whoever wants to use it, they can, if they're not bothered by having their CPU used at 100%... The skin would be made available with the attached caveat, naturally - warning people that it might use up their CPU...
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    unless the background is a server side resource monster.
    I dont see why people couldnt be given it as an option,

    Disclaimers work well.

    Once again Tosa, great job on the skin for a second year in a row... Brilliant stuff.

    the top picture is a bit large though (how much more scrolling can my mouse-wheel take?)
