Description
Season Particles is a lightweight and elegant plugin that allows you to easily add beautiful falling particles to your website, matching the current season or event.
You can display cherry blossoms in spring, autumn leaves in fall, snow in winter, and elegant fireworks for the New Year. The effects are created using SVG and HTML5 Canvas, ensuring high performance and crisp visuals on any device without disrupting your site’s content.
Main Features
- 4 Beautiful Effects: Choose from Sakura (Cherry Blossoms), Momiji (Autumn Leaves), Snow, and Fireworks.
- Auto-Scheduling: Set specific date ranges (e.g., March 15 to April 15) to automatically switch the seasonal effect without manual updates.
- Highly Customizable: Easily adjust the amount, speed, and size of the particles directly from the settings page.
