'Ticker' at bottom of the screen
-
Is there a suggested software that would be able to do a stock market like 'ticker' at the bottom of a PC's screen. (Not for a website but for the local PC) - Just needs to display on one pc.
I have seen a lot out there but some looks very shady as far as if it's adware.

Are you actually wanting to watch the stock market or some custom data feed?
-
Also what operating system is being used here?
-
User entered text.

Not looking for RSS feeds, just custom text that she can manually input and would scroll at the bottom of the screen for employee's to see throughout the day.

Just use it to subscribe to a RSS feed that whoever 'she' is has control over.

Looking for something just local, not related to an RSS feed.

So this person is going to create a custom feed, on her system to do what? Remind herself of what needs to be done that day?
What is the goal here?
-
Yes, the goal is to have scrolling text to remind employee's of things to do or things coming up.
"Remember to ask clients if they want..." or "Remember today is 10% off of...."

This implies that a central person will make changes that affect all (or at least many) other people's computers.
How does that person plan to update all the end user computers with the new information? -

I think I may have found one: https://slashbackassociates.com/ --- Text Ticker
It's VERY basic but I think that's what they want.

RSS would be a good input method for that, though.

Yeah, he is not listening to a damned thing. the best thing to do would be to use an RSS ticker and just whip out a quick RSS formatted file someplace that can be edited.
Doing something custom on the machine is just stupid.

There's the little ray of sunshine I've been looking for all day.

If you want to explain better how to do that, I'll listen, but no reason to be a dick about it.

A RSS feed is simply an XML file when delivered. Most CMS systems and such generate it on page load, but you can easily just make a file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <rss version="2.0"> <channel> <title>Your Feed</title> <link>https://somelink.com</link> <description>Some Text</description> <item> <title>Item title you want ot see</title> <link>https://some.com/item/link</link> <description>Item Description</description> </item> </channel> </rss>
Go stick it someplace the desktop can access it from.

That's a better explanation. Thank you. -

If he wasn't, I would think that something was wrong.
