For crying out loud...fix this

either let people stop that darn thing from ever running or get rid of it
it takes some serious cpu power and lags my system down

Im trying to brows and crunch/fold at the same time and this garbage is eating into it?

if you're up to it give the users some Xmas skins instead

It will only annoy you if you keep thinking about it.

I agree. I can't say that it annoyed me. I wonder if it is because of the theme you're using.

you know yall would probably get this message to the person it needs to get to faster via the PM system.

Challenger is the one to address this issue with.

I agree its a bit of a resource hog and will grind your PC almost to a halt if running F@H in the background. But on the other hand there are only a few of us folding like that so we are the minority. But I am sure chall will address your concerns if he see's this thread.

PS setting up skins that will work with our structure isnt worth it for just a short term thing.

Also I do believe chall has already disabled the snow

Thanks.

It wasn't that I was scrooge. it was the just lag was a bummer.

if you could fix it (or have people be able to (in personal settings) disable it
or come up with skins instead

I mean Xmas is a regular thing and Xmas walpaper/skin wouldn't be all that hard to come up with
other would be Easter or halloween

or allow people to create them and submit them

:( I liked the snow

Also, there was a button at the top that said "stop snowing"... Couldn't you just click that? Or does it not remember your choice?

Ya!!!..I tried that EG.... it messed with me.

Tell Chall if he's gonna do that at least make it work...or pop up some disclaimer

the best thing is that if you want to implement that - make it so user can disable added enhancements you add (like the snow-skin animation)
