Some explanations: Most of the parameters are obvious, but the MESSAGE needs to be explained. Messages should be numbered from 0 to n, without missing numbers. If any number is missed, then the applet won't search for the next message. Message value includes several tokens separated by "|" character.

"headerfontsettings|HeaderItself|messagefontsettinfs|MessageItselfHere|URLtoOpen"

Fontsettings consists of Fontname, FontStyle and FontColor (hexadecimal value without radix) separated by space character.
You can use one of the following platform independent fonts:

  • Dialog
  • InputDialog
  • Helvetica
  • Courier
  • TimesRoman
  • Fontstyle is an integer number 0 for PLAIN, 1 for BOLD and 2 for ITALIC (you can use 3 for BOLDITALIC)

    "KEY" and "AUTHOR" parameters are obligatory parameters. The Free version of applet would add a link back to my site. If you want to get rid of this link you should register this applet, please follow registration instructions.
