      here is the Snow Module in my config.js

                      {
                              module: "clock",
                              position: "top_left",
                              header: "",
                              config: {
                                      displaySeconds: false
                              }
                      },
                      {
                              module: "MMM-Snow",
                              position: "fullscreen_above",
                              header: "",
                              config: {
                                      flakeCount: 25
                              }
                      },
                      {
                              module: "calendar_monthly",
                              position: "top_left",
                              config: {
      
                              }
                      },
      
      

      I hope this can help you

        @Andrius-ok midori doesnt support es6 thats why a lot of modules dont work on midori, but from a quick scan i couldnt spot a es6 feature. But I could imagine that midori also doesnt support css3 and this module is making havy use of css3

        Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

          Thanks a bunch for this. Its quite jerky for me. I have limited the flake count to 25 in the config. Whats my expectation here on a rasberry pi 3 with default modules plus globe, remote module , and traffic . Wondering if i didnt maybe nerf something in the initial first time install of the magic mirror following a tutorial?

          Edit: Found the Answer had to downgrade electron bc I’m using stretch. Took forty minutes to locate an answer on google but worth it! Thanks a bunch for this module and the MM

              Hello @strawberry-3.141 first Happy Holidays! and thank you for your answer. Yes I see now that only working with the Chromium browser on RPi3

              After spending a day to find the solution on how to make work MM on Raspberry Pi Zero W with Chromium I found the solution and it works like a charm! :)

              I tried many browsers (Midori, Kweb, Epiphany) no one is working correctly with es6 and css3 only Chromium.

              There is link on how to make work Chromium on RPi W Zero:
              https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=157049

              Also on how to start Chromium with root (if someone is needed):
              https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20141028025215-79939846-google-chrome-and-chromium-as-root-on-kali-linux/

              There is my start.sh script:
              #! /bin/bash
              cd ~/MagicMirror
              node serveronly &
              sleep 45
              sudo xbacklight -set 100
              sudo xinit /home/pi/startMirror.sh

              and startMirror.sh script:
              #!/bin/sh
              xset -dpms # disable DPMS (Energy Star) features.
              xset s off # disable screen saver
              xset s noblank # don’t blank the video device
              xbacklight -set 100

              #Chromium Browser
              matchbox-window-manager &
              unclutter &
              sed -i ‘s/“exited_cleanly”: false/“exited_cleanly”: true/’ ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preference
              chromium-browser --start-maximized --noerrdialogs --kiosk --incognito http://localhost:8080

              Everything the same config like there (only Chromium browser needed instead Midori):
              https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/1183/how-i-got-my-magic-mirror-working-on-a-raspberry-pi-0-zero

              Maybe for someone it will be usefull on how to start MM on Raspberry Pi Zero W with all features working.

              Happy Holidays!

                  Happy New Year everyone!

                  I need to bring one neverending topic back again here:

                  I tried to use MMM-Snow recently with a Pi 3B+ and stretch installed.
                  Currently I have today’s MM 2.6.0 with electron 2.0.x installed, but I have tried electron v1.4.15 as well.

                  The snowflakes are lagging on my mirror, not falling fluently. If I use the web version from a laptop it’s fluent, so it should be a browser issue.
                  Config:

                      {
                          module: 'MMM-Snow',
                          position: 'fullscreen_above',
                          config: { // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                              flakeCount: 40,
                              theme: "winter"
                          }
                      },
                  

                  I have tried the kms driver, the fake kms driver (which gives me a flickering screen after some time for some odd reasons), and no kms driver at all. No recognizable change with regards to the snowflake performance.

                  Is there any chance for fluent animations using electron at the moment that I have overseen?
                  As far as I understand none of the electron versions work properly with hardware support. Is that true?

                    @lavolp3 - Electron has always been a bit flakey with animations. Pardon the pun.

                    I have 50 flakes running on the office mirror right now and it’s acceptable. But I haven’t upgraded the office mirror to the latest versions yet. If you need, I’ll swing by and check out what version it’s running.

                      Dear all,
                      would it be possible to have this module hidden until a weather module (e.g. MMM-DarkSkyForecast broadcasts a DARK_SKY_FORECAST_WEATHER_UPDATE) broadcasts a weather update that contains a snow forecast for today? That would be really useful :)

                        @bhepler That would be great thanks. Also, if you have one of the drivers enabled and what relosution you’re running.
