KC Festive Effects is a WordPress plugin that adds decorative visual effects to a site without modifying the active theme. It offers five themes \u2014 snow, confetti, Christmas, Diwali, and Holi \u2014 each with falling particles, scattered stickers, and click-triggered bursts at the cursor position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plugin includes adjustable particle density, a choice between front-page or site-wide display, and a shortcode for placing effects on specific pages. Visitors with reduced-motion preferences enabled will see only static stickers, with all animations disabled automatically.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

KC Festive Effects overlays the active theme with lightweight, purely decorative frontend effects \u2014 no theme edits required.<\/p>\n

Features<\/h2>\n
    \n
  • Five themes<\/strong>: falling snow, confetti, a dedicated Christmas<\/strong> theme (snow + stickers), Diwali<\/strong> (auto-launching fireworks + twinkling string-light stickers), and Holi<\/strong> (falling paint colors + splash stickers).<\/li>\n
  • Click tracker<\/strong>: clicking anywhere on the page fires a themed burst right at the pointer \u2014 a firework that rises from the bottom of the screen and explodes where you clicked (Diwali), a paint splash with flying droplets (Holi), or a twinkling glitter sparkle (Christmas, Snow, Confetti). It reads the click from the page underneath a pointer-events: none<\/code> canvas, so it never blocks an actual link or button.<\/li>\n
  • Decorative stickers scattered across the whole page<\/strong> (not just one corner) \u2014 \ud83c\udf84\ud83c\udf81\u26c4 Christmas, \u2744\ufe0f\u26c4 Snow, \ud83c\udf89\ud83c\udf8a Confetti, \ud83e\ude94\ud83c\udf87\ud83d\udca1 Diwali, \ud83c\udfa8\ud83c\udf08\ud83d\udca6 Holi \u2014 each gently swaying, or twinkling like fairy lights for Diwali.<\/li>\n
  • Adjustable particle density and sticker count<\/strong> so every effect can be as subtle or as busy as you want.<\/li>\n
  • Display scope<\/strong>: front page only (the default) or the entire site.<\/li>\n
  • Shortcode override<\/strong>: [kcd_kc_festive_effects]<\/code> forces the configured effect onto whatever page it’s placed on, regardless of the scope setting.<\/li>\n
  • Accessible by default<\/strong>: visitors with “reduce motion” enabled in their OS\/browser see only the static stickers \u2014 all animation, including fireworks and click effects, is skipped entirely.<\/li>\n
  • Settings panel with usage guide under the KC-Dev admin menu.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
