Creating APNGs
Animated Snow Globes
Everyone loves snow globes and so you're sure to enjoy these very unique and first of their kind graphics. These snow globes are in transparent APNG (animated PNG) format and the animation effects will only be visible in Firefox 3.0+ (and a few other non-Mozilla based applications).
In other applications that do not support the APNG format, the graphics will appear as static PNGs with true alpha transparency so they'll blend in nicely with whatever colored background that you use on your web pages.
You can learn more about APNGs and the software that was used to create these APNG graphics at the bottom of this page.

Giving and Sending Options
1) Email:
Download the gift certificates Email Pack
Extract the files
Select a gift certificate and attach it it to an email with a link to www.Mozilla.com or use your SFx affiliate URL. I suggest using mozilla.com if you do not use your affiliate URL because that is what is printed on the gift certificates.
For Thunderbird gift certificates, use www.GetThunderbird.com (printed on certificates) or use your Spread Thunderbird affiliate URL.
2) Print Out:
Download the gift Certificates Printable Pack
Extract the files
Choose a gift certificate and desired format. Either PDF or PNG.
For all OS users, I don't open PDFs in Firefox regardless of what extensions may be available to do so, I open them in Acrobat but I did test opening and printing the gift certificates in Firefox and I had no problems so Firefox users of all OSs shouldn't either.
For users of OSs without Acrobat, if you don't already have a way to import PDFs, there's a PDF import extension available for OpenOffice.org that works just fine. I've confirmed that after spending most of my day installing OOo 3 which rocks by the way. You'll be able to just double click on the extension once you download it and it will be installed into OOo then you can open up and print out the gift certificate of your choosing. Sun PDF Import Extension
Your other option for printing is to use one of the PNGs (they're big, 2250px by 1500px) in the pack and open it with a graphics program or any program capable of opening and printing graphics. That is something that most people have regardless of their OS. If by chance that you don't, I was able to open and print the gift certificates in XnView a really good free and cross platform graphics program.
Customizing the gift certificates
Whether you download the printable gift certificates pack or the email one, there are 2 templates for you to customize.One has a To and From text field in place of the "Date of issuance" where you can personalize your gift certificate, and the other one provides 3 lines for you to add whatever text that you'd like (in your language for example) in place of the 4 lines of text as seen on the other gift certificates. Just open one of them up in any graphics program and add your text. Be sure to save the gift certificate''s original size, format, and resolution to avoid loss in quality and distortion.
Enjoy and remember, these are not constricted to the current holiday season. You can use these year round.
Happy Holidays!

The Making of the APNG Snow Globes
The inspiration to use the APNG format came from the APNG Project. The APNG specification was created by Stuart Parmenter and Vladimir Vukicevic of the Mozilla Corporation in 2004 and support for it was added to Firefox 3 trunk builds in 2007.
Justin Dolske developed the APNG Edit Firefox add-on that converts PNGs files to the APNG format and that is what was initially used when creating the Mozilla snow globes but the final ones that are provided for download here were created using the Animat Firefox add-on developed by Louis Jean-Richard. While both add-ons are very easy to use and converting PNGs to APNGs takes a matter of seconds in both, Animat offers more features and importing files is much quicker.
Both add-ons are not graphic editors so to speak though they do provide some editing capabilities. Their primary function is to take sets of PNG files (with each file being a separate animation frame) and assemble and convert them to the APNG format. In essence they are post production programs.
Stay tuned for a complete and thorough guide to Animat coming as soon as I can find the time to write it. In the meantime, Animat is very easy to learn and use and while it needs just a bit of polishing in the area of accessing options more easily (currently available in about:config) it does provide a good and comprehensive help file.
