If you think that this applet has too many parameters, note that some are redundant and allow you to obtain the same result in different ways.

  • BgColor1 and BgColor2 are the background colors.
  • FgColor1 and FgColor2 are the colors of the string. The second is used when the user moves the mouse over the applet.
  • DefaultMessage is the message displayed when you don't set DataFile or when the file specified in DataFile is not found.
  • DefaultLink is the link used if you don't specify it in the file.
  • DataFile allows you to use a file containing the text you want to display. You can also include the link in the file, using an absolute url (e.g. "http://...") and putting it at the beginning of the file. Look at the example file.
  • Font is the font used to display the message (default Helvetica, plain, 25pt). Remember that the only fonts always available in Java are: Helvetica, TimesRoman, Courier and Dialog. The first numerical value is 0 for plain, 1 for bold, 2 for Italic or 3 for Bold Italic. The second number is the font size.
  • DestinationFrame is the target frame for the link (optional).
  • CPS is the speed, measured in characters per second (default 10).
  • SleepTime is a pause between frames, in milliseconds (default 100). I strongly recommend you to use it to allow users to read the string clearly. The best value depends from the CPS one.
