A new widget : the Newsticker

Hello,

(Sorry for my english : i’m french)

I’m playing with wxPython since a few years (I am not a professional). I just created two open-source software for my pleasure. But I am so grateful to the contributors for their work in wxPython that I would now give me too my modest contribution. I’d like to sharesome tools that I worked on.

Here to start a simple adaptation that I made from wx.lib.ticker by Chris Mellon. This is a vertical scrolling control that can display one or more texts, one or more lines, with or without pause, etc. … We often see this type of control on websites to display RSS feedsor ou latest articles. You can download below the widget and the demo. I hope it will be useful to someone. Feel free to make any desired changes to improve it!

See you soon

Congrats on the new release! I played with the demo on Windows 7 and thought it was pretty slick. The headers were pretty faint until I changed the background color, but other than that, it looked great! It currently doesn’t seem to accept font color changes in the demo. I changed the font to red and it stayed black, but I could successfully change the font style itself.
