Description:
Let it snow on your desktop! This widget works like an overlay: snow flakes will always be on top and continue to fall, no matter what you are doing!

Support:
Size, speed, count and style can be changed dynamically

Implementation details:
Uses special flags of X11
Just QML; no additional install instructions required
Since MouseEvents can't be masked with QML this implementation is a bit different than what is possible with a QT C++ plugin.

I welcome user art for cooler and better snow flakes!

I also welcome ideas for tweaking parameters. There is a lot, i.e. falling speed, speed rotation, direction, swirling speed of snow flakes, opacity, random size calculation, etc...

In case there is interest, I can make a more efficient implememtation in C++.

Install
Should be installable through the KDE Store You can also copy this repository in ./local/share/plasma/plasmoids/
