I’ve got a couple of users using Firefox and Opera where this isn’t working (configured with js-mode), but the codepen example of the code does work. Works fine in Chrome. Any ideas?
ETA: Both users have confirmed that css mode works for them

It seems to be a Chrome-only component. On Firefox, with JS-mode, there’s nothing, and with CSS mode there’s a wall of jerky snow flakes that covers the screen, so it’s not really usable.

It is now updated so that js-mode works for Firefox. I haven’t tested Opera, but I suspect the same fix will help there as well.

is there a way to make this have random fireworks instead of snow?
and my CPU never increased with the snow, used it on desktops and phones, my entire forum loved it, and not one complaint about CPU usage

Hi! I love this, it’s adorable and really brings things to life. I’m wondering, however, if it’s possible to make it appear only to the right and left/in the unused space beside the board (or go behind it)? That way it doesn’t snow all over the text and make reading difficult.

Seems to work fine with the latest discourse release…

Pretty love this theme component, but is there a way that change the “point” (or should I say “dot”?) to real snow icon?
