Re: sot: active desktop ticker
I like the look of it and the idea behind it. Played about with it a bit, but haven¹t got too in depth yet, but I plan on it. Problem with using it for something such as this post required is that you have to download the central app before you get to downloading the ticker... Which will put a good few users off im sure!
