Snowstorm 1.44

Add a snowstorm to your website to create a cozy winter atmosphere. Even though the program is called Snowstorm, the flakes can gently drift down. A neat feature is that you can control the wind direction of the snow based on where you place your mouse on the page. The snow settles at the bottom of your browser and then melts away. This version of Snowstorm also includes a bonus widget: a row of colorful Christmas lights along the top of your browser window that you can smash.

The effect can use noticeable CPU, but you can optimize performance by lowering the number of falling snowflakes and increasing the animation interval. If you have GPU acceleration, that also helps reduce CPU usage.

All it takes is adding this line to your website after downloading the program:

Put on Frank Sinatra’s “Let It Snow” and let the snowfall glide across your screen or website while you enjoy the music. Download Snowstorm for free here—a screensaver-style background effect for your website.
