Acute Applets

One of the most useful, flexible and well documented web-design scrollers available.

AcuteApplets creates some of the most attractive, feature-packed Java text scrollers you're likely to see.

One typical implementation of Acute Applets is a "paragraph" scroller. As the input can be loaded from a separate text file, and as the layout can be separated from the content, it will be very convenient to maintain and update an Acute Applet.

You can drastically change the visual appearance of the applet using a background and a foreground image.

Even though the Acute Scroller applet will line-break text, it can be used as a one-line ticker as long as the text fit in one row.

You can navigate within a message using section links. Also it is a great example of how a FAQ could be implemented using the Acute applets.

You can implement a menu helper applet that displays tool-tips when the user moves the mouse over the menu.

Even though the Acute Shifter applet will line-break text, it can be used as a one-line ticker as long as the text fit in one row.
