This messenger will apply skew sin-wave transformation to your text making spiral ribbons from it. The Background color The background color will be used as the background for the effect if no background image supplied. Otherwise background color will be used as the background only during preloading of applet. The Text Two colors provided for text - initial and final. When text appears it displayed in initial color. Initial color gradually changed to final color as effect goes on, text will be displayed in final color when letter will be flipped to maximum, then it will be gradually transformed back to initial color. Speed and Waves values Speed of the effect determined by X speed variable and applet width. X speed defined in pixels per frame and determine vertical scrolling speed. When text string will pass viewable region of an applet, effect will start over with next string. Rotation speed defined in percents per frame, as skew effect measured in percents (from -100% to 100%). Initial rotation of each letter determined by sinusoidal "wave" applied to text, or waves, depends on Waves variable. So waves and rotation create "spiral ribbon" from text string. Other settings There are other settings that are discussed on the following topics from the Advanced Effect Maker documentation: Aleksey Udovydchenko
