Everything the ticker can show

One band, every kind of content. Each section below is a row in the control window and a tap on the phone.

Live market data

Pick the symbols you want: shares, indices, currencies, crypto and commodities. Each shows its price, the move since the open and an arrow, with the company or currency logo beside it. Prices update live; where an exchange delays its public quotes, the band shows what the feed sends.

Charts. Turn on a small chart beside any price. Line, area, candles or bars; one hour, four hours or a day; width and high and low marks to taste. Set a default for every symbol or choose per stock.

Big numbers, readable. Market caps and volumes are shown to six significant digits with the trailing zeros dropped, so 1.80922bn reads as a number rather than a string.

News, RSS and sport

Add any news or RSS feed. Choose how many headlines show and how often they refresh. Headlines carry the story’s picture when the feed supplies one, sized to the band. Sport is the same row with a different feed: fixtures, results and tables from the source you choose.

Your own messages

Type the message, pick its colour and size, switch it on. It takes its place in the scroll straight away. Edit in a pop-up box with paste and a visible caret; right-click for cut, copy and paste. No character limit. Pictures are cards too: a logo, a product shot, a sponsor.

Fonts, size, speed and layout

Five bundled fonts or your own uploaded ones, applied without a restart. Text size as a percentage of the row, so a 48-pixel row can carry 48-pixel letters. Scroll speed, light or dark layout, one row or several, row height, and a card tint from transparent to solid.

Backgrounds

Five kinds, chosen in one row:

• Plain. A colour.
• Weather scenes (add-on). Live weather for your town, or a scene you choose: cloudy, overcast, fog, rain, snow, thunderstorm, lightning, with an intensity slider from calm to full extreme. Weather data by Open-Meteo.com.
• AI backgrounds (add-on). Describe a picture in a sentence and the software makes three; pick one. Logos, brands and characters are allowed. Generated pictures are kept on the PC so a scene always has its background.
• Your picture. A photo or artwork from the PC or sent from your phone.
• Your video. An MP4 or WebM clip, muted and looped, played across the full width of the band pixel for pixel, including every row of a folded band.

Pictures and video fit the band whole, repeat along it with a mirrored or seamless join, and can sit behind the headlines as well as the prices. A readability guard keeps the text legible over any background and drops back to plain if a background ever fails.

Scenes and a timetable

Save this scene captures everything that is switched on, including the background, under a name: Morning Markets, Happy Hour, Match Day. Load a scene with one tap.

The Schedule page runs scenes by the clock. Add a rule in one form: pick the scene, pick the days, pick Morning, Lunch, Afternoon, Evening, Overnight or your own times. A Monday-to-Sunday week view shows what plays when; tap a block to change it. Conflicts are said plainly, with Replace or Keep both. Hold a scene for two hours, then go back to the timetable. Display on and off hours sit underneath, with custom times to the minute, and always win.

Control from anywhere

• At the PC. The control window holds every setting, and it is the only place network and pairing settings can be changed.
• On the local network. Tick Allow on the local network, show the pairing code or its QR, and any browser on the same Wi-Fi can open the panel.
• From anywhere (Remote control add-on). The panel is reachable over the internet through Dynamo’s own service. Scan the QR once and your phone stays signed in for months. A signed-in phone can invite another with a one-time link. Nothing on your network is opened to the outside.

Output position

Place the output exactly where the band is on the extended desktop: X, Y, width, height, a display dropdown and an Identify button. Bands that fold across several rows are mapped so one continuous feed scrolls across all of them.

Keeps the display up

Windows is set so set-up screens, notifications and error boxes never appear over the output, the screen never sleeps, and the ticker starts by itself when the PC starts. A watchdog restarts the output within seconds if it ever freezes. Feeds reconnect on their own when the internet drops. Updates arrive from Dynamo signed, install in a night window you choose, and roll back automatically if they fail. Restarting the PC only ever happens when a person asks for it, at the PC or from a signed-in phone, with a confirmation first.
