    with that snow... how are you making it fall?

    you could create a transition Actor placed in higher layer than the snow...
    to cover and allow snow to start behind it...

    i managed to work that out by changing the startup time to 5,
    another question on particles,
    i want to change the size of my particle but it only changes the x , y values together is there anyway of changing say 20pixels on the y and 40pixels on the x

    in the Particles Size Tab ...

    Size: 15 (that is the default size) change to 30 or so... and particles will look like original image size... and leave the option [ Size does not change ] unless you want their size to decrease.

    ===
    X is the location (coordinate) of the center of an Actor (Left to Right)
    Y is the location of the center of an Actor (Bottom to Top)
    changes in those real Attributes only change the position of the Actor on the screen
