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.
Can confirm it’s now working for both of my users, Firefox and Opera. Thanks for the fix.
I use Opera,
looked great but as David noted

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…
Adoro questo componente tematico, ma c’è un modo per cambiare il “punto” (o dovrei dire “pallino”?) con una vera icona di neve?
C’è un modo per rallentare la neve in modo che non sia così distraente? Una specie di neve pigra? O un modo per gli utenti di disattivare la neve da soli, in modo che alcuni possano goderne mentre altri, per i quali causa problemi, possano disattivarla?
Stai usando la versione CSS o JS?
passato da JS a CSS! Ma possiamo provare entrambi, a seconda di quale sia più facile. @famousamos.1 per tua informazione
@dennisjbr se ne occupa per me - avrei dovuto chiederglielo prima, ma la mia lista di cose da fare è enorme. Ci aiuta con il nostro sito.
La versione CSS è più facile da cambiare, ma non è lo stesso effetto. ![]()
Se sei d’accordo con la versione CSS e vuoi rallentare la caduta, aggiungi questo CSS al tuo tema o a un nuovo componente del tema e regola il valore secondo le tue esigenze. Più alto è il valore, più lento sarà.
