Hi Uwe, at the top of this page you can read that other images are welcome. I am not a designer, I write code. Just send me your pictures.
I guess I’ll look into the rocket/explosion offset somewhen before new year.

Hi!

When critizing something, you should point out the positive sides first before you name the things that could be improved.

Well, let’s go on to the things that could be improved.

When the animation starts I get a nuclear age flashback. The rockets look like artillery grenades. You could simply leave them out because they destroy any poetic contents of “fireworks”.

The center of the fireworks explosion is offset to the position where the grenades disappear. Both images – the rocket and the much larger explosion – seem to be positioned top left, and not centered.

The 1994 style gifs look totally croppy: The visual appearance of the fireworks of several gifs is cropped!

You don’t mean it serious, do you?

Well, look at the source of this page. There’s a part in the section (include javascript) and in the foot (include images). You’ll probably have to edit the paths to the files in the HTML markup and the javascript file to make it work.

I have this crude fireworks script I got from about.com. Would you have any suggestions on how one could put your fireworks plugin so that it shows up on a page that’s not part of wordpress?

Hi Deviacium, it is very likely that it’s not possible (yet) to add the effect only to the main page. I will look into this issue soon.

Hello,
i didn’t figure out how to attach it to main page only…
playing with URI gives me fireworks everywhere or nowhere at all…. And i want it to be greeting people at the main page only…

That’s really odd, it works very well here in IE. There was a bug up to version 0.7.0 that prevented the plugin from working in IE6… which specific IE7 version are you running?

Hm, did you add the shadowbox effect recently? You could try to disable it.
