Message for Mac

Publisher's Description

From toastycode:

Inspired by the eponymous screen saver from BeOS, Message paints text over and over again, in a variety of colors and sizes. The original BeOS Message would only display the output of the "fortune" program, but Message for Mac OS X lets you choose any command-line tool to supply its text. You can also type any text you like (something utilitarian, like "Be back soon," or silly/artsy, like Unicode dingbats).

What's new in this version:

  • Fixes a problem with the built-in fortune script (that either runs the real "fortune" or displays a helpful error message). Message should work with the BSD fortune package again.
  • Adds some additional eye candy to message captions.
