LED Banner gives you a scrolling LED Banner on your desktop. You can have your own messages, customize the LED and border colors, and resize the length and height of the banner.

November 16, 2007 · version 2.2 Mr.CirclesThis seems like a handy widget.
I'll have to figure out how to use it, other than having personal messages floating across my screen in pretty lights...

November 16, 2007 · version 2.2 MerlinWhat you are seeing is entirely correct behavior for the widget - the cycle is not complete until the feed reaches the left hand end of the display! That is what is meant by cyclic. If you don't like that, you could use the Linear Mode.

November 16, 2007 · version 2.2 KCGMerlin,
Your suggestion seemed to work partly, although it still reloaded the first RSS feed again until it reached the left-end, then it realised and loaded the second RSS feed.
I have always wanted a LED thing on my desktop, so even there is a slight glitch, it is still awesome.
Cheers

November 16, 2007 · version 2.2 Merlingordonkcchan: Set the RSS Items Limit higher to 10 or 20 (say). I think you may be seeing the RSS feed change because you have specified a very low RSS Items Limit and not because the reload timer fired.

November 16, 2007 · version 2.2 KCGI am using the latest version 1.6.1 I tried two feeds, BBC Headlines, and BBC UK, my testing settings were, Cycle RSS location (Checked), Reload interval (1min), Display mode (Cyclic RSS) and RSS Items (2). However, it didn't work, so can you tell me if the settings were wrong? I will post another one on the forurm.
Cheers
