StarWords

The StarWords applet is designed to be used as an eye-catching and original heading for use on your Web pages.  User defined messages fly towards the viewer atop a rotating 3D starfield.  Each message is in a different colour which gets brighter as it grows larger - the message then fades away to make room for the next one.

Usage: Download StarWords.zip and unzip it in your HTML directory. The unregistered version of this applet may be freely used on any non-commercial Web site. Commercial sites must obtain the registered version. Registered versions may be obtained on a single site or multi-site basis and reduced rates apply for non-commercial pages. Contact the author, Adam Sheik, for more info.
