Field notes
Snowhush describes effects that interact with ordinary window movement rather than simply layering animation over the screen: snow slides off dragged windows and drops when they close or minimize. Its settings include a melt option and a control for whether screenshots and screen sharing capture the effect. The page lists specific Linux desktop environments and reports approximate processor and memory use.
