Scrippy stationeries are composed of objects which you select and customize. The following objects are available:
Background. Multiple backgrounds can be used, overlapping each other to create layered effects.
Message. Text message and/or graphics. Full control of fonts and colors.
Sound.
Scrolling border. You can insert as many of these as you like, at any of the screen edges. They can move in various directions at a variety of speeds.
Ticker. An animated text message in the status bar at the bottom of the stationery window. Lots of different animation options.
Positioned objects. You can insert a single copy of an image, or a scrolling repeated copy, using a position based on any of the window edges or the center of the window.
Containers. Containers are a powerful construct which can be used to create layers of "stationery within stationery". Containers allow recombination of other Scrippy objects in many different ways.
Frames. A visible border placed around another object or group of objects.
Objects which overlap can easily be dragged and dropped to change the visual layering sequence.
Sending Scrippy Stationery:
Stationery created with Scrippy can be viewed by recipients who have Outlook Express 5 or later, Outlook 98 or later, and Netscape 6.1 or later.
Your stationery "scripts" don't get corrupted while being sent, nor do they get "dirty" after numerous uses.
It is easy to reuse a received Scrippy stationery.
Optionally a "loading, please wait" message displays on the recipient's screen while the stationery loads. You can customize this message.
The sent size of your stationery is displayed while you compose it so that you can adjust messages which get too large.
