Text

Use the "Text" source to display lines of text from text documents.

To open the "Text" preferences, follow these steps:

  1. Open Universal Ticker.
  2. Choose "Universal Ticker" > "Preferences".
  3. In the "Sources" category choose "Text".

Files

Add text files by dragging them into the list or click the plus icon to open the file selector.

For each file you may either use the default color or choose a unique one.

Files that contain formatted text (.rtf and .rtfd) already contain color information. You can not choose your own color for those files.

If you check "Track Changes" Universal Ticker will automatically pick up changes to the selected files and take those into account when updating the display.


Display

Use the slider to adjust the delay between the display of two lines of text.

Additionally you may choose to have the corresponding file icon displayed along with each line of text.
