Settings

In the settings dialog you control the design features of the scrolling text window and set the texts you would like to show. In the left part of the dialog you can select one of 5 text slots - each with a file from a folder (unformatted *.txt - Format) or a feely entered text. If you are using a text that is loaded from a file and the currently loaded text file is changed outside the program, the text inside the program will show the changes.

In the right part of the dialog you control the program behavior and design:

  • Font and font size
  • Alignment (left / center / right)
  • Background Color
  • Marker Color
  • Eye Line marker (0..10)
  • Line Height
  • Margins

Below the preview text window you have some more controls:

  • Transparency: for values greater zero, the main window becomes semi-transparent. This allows to see another window below the teleprompter, but notice that you can also set a transparent background color.
  • Animate HUD: this will set how the control panels of the main window will show and hide
  • Theme: Set a Dark (default) or Light theme for the interface
  • Show Percentage: displays the elapsed percentage of the currently scrolling text (is correctly adjusted on speed change)
  • Show % Buttons: displays 9 buttons on the bottom right corner of the main window, to jump to 10%..90% of the text
  • Endless Loop: starts the scrolling process again, if the text has scrolled through completely
  • Pause on Mouse-Over: The scrolling pauses, when the mouse hovers over the program window and resumes when it is moved out
  • Mirror: flips the text horizontally, for use with a mirror
  • Start on Apply: start scrolling immediately after Apply is clicked
  • Export: export the settings file for backup purposes or for use on another computer. Notice that no license information will be exported.
  • Import: import a settings file. Notice that no license information will be imported. If your currently running program is activated, the activation will remain unchanged. If the program is not activated though, it will run in trial mode.

In the bottom left corner of the setting dialog you can find two buttons to "remote control" the scroller (for instance from a second monitor): you can start/stop and reset the scrolling text.
