Ticker Tape Replacement

[Hamster]

Hi all,

 

There used to be a bit of software called TickerTape by Amber Software (https://web.archive.org/web/20220811121226/https://ambersoftware.co.uk/downloads_tickertape.htm).

It basically displayed a rolling message at the top of the screen, really good to let users know that something is down or of an upcoming event but not be in the user face.

 

Unfortunately it looks like Amber Software are no longer in business and TickerTape doesn't seem to work with Windows 11 or at least from what I've tried in brief testing.

Does anyone know any good alternative?

I use Desktop Ticker as a RSS ticker. You could probably set it up to do what you want but it would be a bit of a faff. Works with W11.

Thanks, I will look into that.

I tried Ticker Tape again on another Windows 11 Machine and it seem to be working now, so I must of done something wrong.
