Two copies
of the background image are prepared. We used Paintshop Pro to make them. Both images were darkened
to make the snow stand out on them.
The alcsnow
applet was run without entering a file name for
the image. This produces snow on a black background.
Paintshop Pro was used to capture a copy of this image
and to construct a transparent gif, which was overlaid
on one of the images.
All the images
used are shown below.
Original Image
Background 2
Captured snow
- the red is transparent
Background 3
The code
to display the final image is shown in the table below. This
code has to appear between the <BODY>
and </BODY>tags
of your HTML code:
Sets the size
of the snow applet to the size of the image
<PARAM NAME=grph VALUE="background2.jpg">
The background
image to the snow scene
<PARAM NAME=snows VALUE="600">
Amount of
snow
<PARAM NAME=threadsleep VALUE="100">
Amount of
wind blowing the snow
</APPLET>
End of the
snow applet code
<BR>
Forces the
next applet below the first. If you are using Netscape
Composer, watch that a nonbreaking space does not creep
into your code here or you will get an ugly gap in your
picture.
