Description:
This resource adds a gentle, animated snowfall effect to your forum's Header and Footer. Unlike older scripts, this version is purely CSS, lightweight, and optimized for XenForo 2.3.

Key Features:

  • 🖱️ Click-through Safe: Uses pointer-events: none so it never interferes with your logo, navigation, or footer links.
  • 🌗 High Contrast: Includes a subtle shadow filter, making white snowflakes visible even on white/light headers.
  • 🎨 CSS Only: No JavaScript required.
  • 📱 Responsive: Covers the full area of the header/footer automatically.
Installation Instructions:
  1. Open Admin Control Panel:
    Go to Appearance -> Styles.

    Select your active style and click Templates.
  3. Find Extra.less:

  5. Save:
    Click Save and Exit.
Customization Tips:

  • Speed: Change 20s in animation: snowDrift 20s... to make it faster or slower.
  • Direction: If you want the snow to fall straight down instead of diagonally, change the keyframe to background-position: 0 250px;.
