Here's how to add an animated snowfall effect to your HA user-interface.

Requirements
  1. Your HA user-interface is HTML-based.
  2. Your HA server has Internet access.
Instructions
  1. Find the web-page, or code, that generates your HA program's user-interface.
  2. Add the following line in between the <HEAD> and </HEAD> tags.
    <script src="http://s2.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/snow/snowstorm.js?ver=3" type="text/javascript"></script>
  3. Save and exit the text-editor.
Example
  1. For Premise Home Control, open the following file in a text-editor (ensure it is not read-only):
    C:\Program Files\Premise\SYS\web\Platforms\Desktop\default.htm
  2. Scroll down to line 30 and, just before the </HEAD> tag, add the following line:
    <script src="http://s2.wordpress.com/wp-content/plugins/snow/snowstorm.js?ver=3" type="text/javascript"></script>
  3. Save and exit the text-editor.
  4. Restart Premise Server and then view the snowfall in Premise Browser (see the attached image).

Reminds me of xsnow back in the SunOS 2.4 days. Ah, the memories of starting xsnow or xflip with the DISPLAY variable set to another desktop to watch people freak out.

Or, if you are feeling a little bit evil, use xroach. ;-)

That was another good one. xv had an option to put an image as your background, and you could do it with the DISPLAY variable. I would change people's backgrounds to something "embarrassing." They always would open a ton of windows to cover up the background because they didn't know how to fix it. :)
