Scrolling Text

[sphinx]

also figured out how to make transparrent don't know if this is of use to anyone but simply delete the line

var scrollerbgcolor='#0E3652'

[Rose]

Ooooh! You can delete the line and it still works? I've been going in and editing the colors of the styles so that it would match the background color. *lol* Thanks!


Do you sometimes have a white line at the bottom (of the scroller)? If I adjust it too wide to fit two lines of text, I get a white break line.

[sphinx]

I had the------------------------ line and just deleted that from the code,if this is what you mean other than that no no white lines if you would like a copy of my edited one let me know as I said no lines etc

[Rose]

I'd be interested in copying your edited one to see if I still get the white line. :s

[sphinx]

no problem as you ccan see I have removed the colour code for the transparrent background and also removed the background colour using the " command,and I get no white lines please let me know if it is ok for you ie no lines it has made me curious,I have also removed the links code as it is something I am not likely to use,ie on your board one of the scrolls is a clickable link.Like I said I am new to this so please bear with me I am a trial and error person
