The Future of XBanner

Here is a short list of things I plan to do in future versions:
  1. Animated backgrounds - Fireworks, and perhaps dripping letters. The possibilities are endless, really!
  2. Support .GIF files as loadable images (not only .XPM). Perhaps even .PNG!
  3. Asymmetric Color-Cycling - e.g. cycle the red component faster than the green and blue.
  4. Different cycling speeds for different cycled entities.
  5. Separate the code into a library of effects and the rest of the application.
  6. A 'reflection' style of rendering effect. Like gleaming silver text.
  7. A lot of effects for TrueColor displays including more realistic shade, opacity levels, and texture.
