Stripper 2
Stripper 2 is a Freeware desktop note utility programmed by Christoph Spengler. Stripper is designed for use with AV-Servers (Thing etc) and multitasking OS's (MagiC etc). Up to 10 windows are available to display notes in any available colour and font. Drag and Drop and font selector available via AV-Servers, popup menu for MagiC and N.AES users. Separate INF files for each resolution, auto window closing, ST-Guide help and much more! Stripper is a delightful desktop notes utility designed for use with Thing and MagiC - although it can be persuaded to work under any multitasking operating system and AV-Server desktop. Stripper can be launched from your APPS/START folder or run directly from the desktop.
After configuring Stripper with your preferred text editor and entering the text for a desktop note, the integral MagiC font selector (or other font selector) can be called to select any available font and point size.
Up to ten Stripper windows, each with its own colour and font selection,
can be set up and optionally configured to auto-close after a
pre-defined number of seconds. You could, for example, set up reminders
to be displayed briefly at boot time, which then remove themselves
leaving a clutter-free destop, crude animation is even possible. I'd
like to see this feature extended to support blinking along with a
birthday alarm but as it stands Stripper is better than either of the
built-in utilities provided with Ease and NeoDesk.
By clicking and holding down the mouse key over any window it can be
dragged anywhere on-screen. A right mouse click (or [Alternate]+left
click) on any Stripper window tops it - a small red dot indicates key
functions now apply to this window. Messages can be Drag and Dropped
onto any Stripper window via the AV protocol. MagiC and N.AES users can
access functions via a popup menu, users of other combinations can use
keyboard shortcuts instead Stripper is resolution independent and saves
a separate configuration file for each resolution.
Stripper includes full English ST-Guide hypertext help.
