Messenger is a single-line text display control with a horizontal fading effect. An unlimited number of items can be displayed, each with their own text colors and linking to separate URLs. The animation speed can be fine-tuned, along with the length of time each message pauses on the screen. Animation can be paused when the mouse enters, and items can gain an HTML-style underline when the mouse hovers over them. A drop-shadow effect can be applied to the text.
