Install using bower install jquery-snowfall
Bug fixes, removed requestAnimationFrame
polyfill.
Updated to use gulpjs for build process.
Added the ability to use images as snow flakes instead of just solid colored elements.
$(element).snowfall({image :"images/flake.png", minSize: 10, maxSize:32});
Pure version
snowFall.snow(elementCollection, {image : "images/flake.png", minSize: 10, maxSize:32});
elementCollection can be any valid element such as document.body
Added collecting snow! Uses the canvas element to collect snow. In order to initialize snow collection use the following
$(document).snowfall({collection : 'element'});
element = any valid jquery selector.
The plugin then creates a canvas above every element that matches the selector, and collects the snow. If there are a varrying amount of elements the flakes get assigned a random one on start they will collide.
Fixed issues (I hope) with scroll bars flickering due to snow going over the edge of the screen. Added round snowflakes via css, will not work for any version of IE. - Thanks to Luke Barker of https://www.infinite-eye.com/ Added shadows as an option via css again will not work with IE. The idea behind shadows, is to show flakes on lighter colored web sites - Thanks Yutt
Updated script that caused flakes not to show at all if plugin was initialized with no options, also added the fixes that Han Bongers suggested
