This is a nice Template Modification that I thought would be cool to post here since I noticed some Christmas/Holiday skins were being released. Spice it up with some falling snowflakes!
Installation is simple, should take no more than 2 minutes
Admin CP > Style Manager > Edit the Header Template
Add the Following Code Above ALL in the Header Template
The text in Red could change based on the location of your Forum Board, Change if Needed
Download the Attached ZIP file and upload the Snow.js and Snow.gif into your /forum/images/misc directory of your Forum Board!
Live demo at www.vbcore.com/forum
Was made aware that this only works in Internet Explorer
I take no credit for the .js file. Credit goes to DynamicDrive.com (Made it Blue for Floris) lol
