DONE: Basic Pop-Up Notice/Reminder Window

(1/5) > >>

nkormanik:
I'd like to use the built-in Windows Scheduled Tasks to put in certain reminders.

When a particular date/time arrives..., a window will pop up on the screen, with text.

Characteristics of the pop-up window:

-- Centered on the screen
-- Regular window with x in right-hand corner that user can press on to dismiss
-- Ability to control font size.  Would like a large-sized font -- perhaps 40-point
-- Possibly allow for setting background color -- perhaps a nice light blue

Ideally there would be an .ini file, in which one could place the message text, and the above parameters, like font-size, background color, etc.

As this request seems pretty basic, I'd guess there already exists such a program.  If that's the case, please tell me.

I don't want any scheduling, etc., as Windows Scheduled Tasks already handles that.  What's requested is just a very basic pop-up window with text.

Thanks much,
Nicholas Kormanik

Stickies ?

While not as basic as you want, it does all that and more ... you don't have to use all it's features ;)

You don't have the font... but the other bits are there.

Well, here is MessagePop - You can customize the title, message, text size, text color, window size, and allows some HTML tags. Hope you find use for it :-)
