Rain Shelter
The RainShelter module allows you to specify which region of your screen/wallpaper to receive rain.
Let's say you want to draw rain only in the lower half of an image called 'CalmLake.jpg'.
To do this, open 'CalmLake' in an image editor (PaintShop Pro, PhotoShop, MS Paint, etc).
Paint with pink (Fuchsia/$FF00FF) the area the you want have rain in it.
When done, save file as PNG (JPG will distort the colors so it will not work).
Exit your image editor. For the file you jsut save, change file extension from '.png' to '.RainShelter'. Make sure that the both files (the original .JPG image and the new .RainShelter file) are in the same folder.
Don't worry if the program will not list the RainShelter file. This is as intended.
Now double click the 'CalmLake.jpg' to start the animation. The program will only let droplets fall in the area specified by you (with pink color).
Enjoy.
