So I'm guessing this died a horrible death or got eaten by Gremlins somewhere since this thread is so old and hasn't been updated.

It appears so.

Rather than wait, I started puting together my own solution.

It's in development, but working.

This looks real nice but It's asking for a username and password when I try to download, I don't have one for your site:)

Well, the original plan was to test it properly and get it to a stable release version before sharing it. The download link was just for the testers.

But I'm rubbish at this, and pathetically weak-willed :-)

So many people have asked for the password and I've not been able to say no that now they outnumber the testers by a long way.

So, I've removed the password requirement.

The script hasn't much error checking in it, probably isn't stable on all platforms, the UI sucks and the snow isn't quite how I want it to be yet ...

.. but go get it, have some fun and make some cool pics (and I'd love it if you showed them to me).

It'd be kind of nice if you mentioned the script when posting any pics to the galleries that have been made with it, but it's not a requirement.

Thanks Snarly.

Thanks Snarlygribbly, I didn't realise it was just for testers. I'll have a play with it over the weekend and see how it looks, this snow script is a pretty nice idea:)
