When the lil' so called GenieBaby-cu'cu' is playing around...

GScroll
(AKA YASTA Yet Another Scrolling Text Applet)

This is my very first test about JAVA-APPLET applications...
...surfin' around I have seen many JAVA-APPLETs' pages and I saw that almost everyone made his own "text scroller" applet :) ... so I thought it was a good starting point for me too :P

And finally here the first scratch of a kinda smooth scroll-java-applet.

But I wanted it to differ a bit... so I added some maybe useless features...

draggable scroll text (hold mouse button down and try to drag the text)

scroll pause (just hold mouse button down)

switchable scroll direction (it scrolls where you drag it to)

Here the complete list of parameters you can use:

<PARAM NAME="scroll" VALUE="Put a nice text here ;)">

(text to be scrolled)
<PARAM NAME="bcolor" VALUE="0,50,0">

(background color in R,G,B format)
<PARAM NAME="scolor" VALUE="125,255,125">

(foreground text color in R,G,B format)
<PARAM NAME="txfont" VALUE="Courier">

(font to be used for the text)
<PARAM NAME="txsize" VALUE="12">

(font size)
<PARAM NAME="sdelay" VALUE="8">

(scroll speed 1=faster, >1=slower)

none of them is required but you would put in there at least some text... eheh isn't it ? ;)

Here a short to-do list :

unlimited scroll text lines (actually you can only specify 1 scrol text line)
clickable hot words (HTML links alike)
a couple of bug fixes to existing problems
add a source code distribuition... gimme time for doing some cleanup stuff about it ;)
everything else could arise from your precious suggestions ;)

STAY TUNED... :)
