            decoration: BoxDecoration(
              gradient: LinearGradient(
                begin: Alignment.topCenter,
                end: Alignment.bottomCenter,
                colors: [

          ),

          // Snow fall animation
          SnowFallAnimation(
            config: SnowfallConfig(

              speed: 1.0,
              useEmoji: true,
              customEmojis: ['❄️', '❅', '❆'],

Advanced Usage

Customization Bottom Sheet

showCustomizationBottomSheet
(
context: context,
config: currentConfig,
onConfigChanged: (newConfig) {
setState(() {
config = newConfig;
});
},
);

Dynamic Configuration

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  late SnowfallConfig _config;

  @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
    _config = const SnowfallConfig(
      numberOfSnowflakes: 200,
      speed: 1.0,
      customEmojis: ['❄️', '🎅', '🎄'],
    );
  }

  void _updateConfig(SnowfallConfig newConfig) {
    setState(() {
      _config = newConfig;
    });
  }

// ... rest of the implementation
}

Performance

Optimization Tips

1. Keep numberOfSnowflakes between 100-300 for best performance
2. Disable unnecessary effects (enableRandomOpacity, enableSnowDrift) if not needed
3. Use basic shapes instead of emojis for better performance
4. Adjust cleanup cycle timing based on your needs

Platform-Specific Notes

• Web: Keep number of snowflakes lower for better performance
• Mobile: Works well with default settings
• Desktop: Can handle higher numbers of snowflakes
