This may be a long shot, but I want to make something randomly appear over the entire page when the mouse hasn’t moved for a couple seconds, then, when it moves, everything disappears. It would be like a screensaver, but just part of the website. Does anyone have any idea how to do this?

It would basically taking this snow tutorial [snow tutorial](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/mx/snow.htm) and making it start when the mouse stops and stop when the mouse starts. That, and make it 100% of the screen.
