Any chance you could make this work on Mac? I am running into the ticker length bug and really need a better solution. Thanks.

Hi there, this is a great and simple banner thank you. is it possible to make it read a shared text document i.e. google sheets? When streaming, there are a number of commentators and would be great if each one could update the banner text live.

Kind regards.

Well, program is very cool - what I was seeking after. BUT! I faced problem:
If I choose screen capture - it works perfectly, but there is window frame present.
If I choose to capture the window (in OBS) it displays only static animation picture or nothing, if to choose 00.
I use OBS 26/1/1 (64 bit).
Is it bug, or I missed something?
My PC is on Windows 7x64

Please advise...

Attempted to use this today and when executing the 'text scroll 03.exe' I am getting the following error:

For folks facing this issue, we figured out that it was when we set the first two chars of the marquee.txt file to 00. One solution is to use a program that can save .png files (powerpoint does nicely) to create a little black square and save it as alert-03.png, then change the first two characters of your marquee.txt to "03" - that worked for us.

Thanks for the support everyone...

I am working on a replacement using a different programming language; the only problem is time... not got enough at the mo.

Also working on a game score program which seems to be working pretty well... a lot more customisable :-)

Will try and get it sorted in the next month or two :-(

YES, I'm going through exactly the same thing with you. But why doesn't DrAlbany seem to help my friends on this forum? Almost everyone complained about this tool.

Sorry, for your disappointment, but it's down to me being busy and not receiving notification when someone leaves a message.

And I am trying to build a replacement with better functionality, but lack of time is the problem.

Is this true for each line? or is there something wrong?
please improve how to write to the marquee file what should I do?

And just like this on OBS, silent and motionless.

I've just tested it again and it works for me... what graphics card are you using?

Regarding the windows frame, have you thought about cropping the image?

I didn't do any cropping, just centered the window. That's all.
no GPU card just Shared, not RTX or GTX
