Media Ticker Help
The MediaTicker Interface
Startup and Loading
When MediaTicker starts, the Ticker Window appears. If this is the first time you’ve launched MediaTicker, the application will spend a few moments loading pre-installed content.
Once the preloaded content is found, you’re ready to start enjoying MediaTicker.
The Main Ticker Window
The Ticker Window contains the following components:
- Title Bar – close and minimize the ticker, and visit the Options window
- Main Ticker Area – displays picture thumbnails and text headlines as specified in the Options window
- Tooltips – mouse-over any ticker item to see details about it
- System Tray Icon – shows you when MediaTicker is running and displays context menu when clicked
Title Bar
MediaTicker commands can be accessed through the interface available at the upper left of the ticker. There are three common commands that can be used here: Options, Help, and Close to Tray.
- Options icon opens the Options page.
- Help icon opens this help file.
- Close to Tray icon closes the ticker, but the program remains active in the system tray.
