Banner

Computer customization benefits from an abundance of default, and third-party resources. Some time ago, Windows brought about the gadget engine, which allowed various objects to be placed on the desktop. Multiple services emerged afterwards, such as Yahoo! Widget Engine, with Banner being a dedicated gadget.
Since Banner is specially designed to run in Yahoo! Widget Engine, it needs to be installed on your computer for the gadget in question to work. Deployment of the gadget only takes a little while, and it can immediately be brought on the desktop, with a sample text available to see what it can do.
The gadget can be freely moved around the desktop by simply dragging the text, since there’s no border, or window to hold it. Default properties can make it ignore mouse interaction, prevent dragging, or have opacity level set between 20% and 100%.
It also comes with its own set of configuration options. For instance, the text displayed can easily be changed by writing a different input in the dedicated field, and if the text is too wide to fit, it automatically scrolls.
More customization options make it possible to change the font to anything else installed on the target computer. A color palette is there to help change the style, while size options are selected from a drop-down menu fitted with 6 different specifications.
