* Free add-ons: slide presenter, chat viewer, notecard ereader, & emailable sign.

The Bright Text Screen displays readable, miltifont, multicolour, instantly updatable text within Second Life.

It doesn't rely on shared media ("web on a prim"), or ugly floating text. It uses ordinary textures on real prims: so you can be sure that any resident can read it, even if they have media disabled.

And it is low land impact, displaying over TEN characters for each point of LI.

You can change the number of rows and columns, and the size of the characters (and so the size of the sign), through a simple menu system. The board will rebuild itself automatically, stretching and contracting, and deleting prims, or rezzing and linking new ones, as required.

All ASCII characters can be displayed (ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ, abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz, 0123456789, and punctuation: ,:;.!?'\'+-*/^%=@#&$`~_\\|()<>[]{}) plus a wide range of symbols.

To update the screen, just type text into chat: "/9 Hello World!". Use simple tokens between braces to mix colours, such as "{r}" for red text: "/9 Welcome to the {r}Bright Text Screen!".

If you are a builder, you can also use the simple API to update the screen from your own scripts, which you can add to the screen itself, or put in your own objects. And if the screen is clicked, the key of the resident clicking, and the row and column clicked, will be reported back using the same API, allowing you to create interactive screen displays.

The screen comes with four free add-ons: useful in their own right, and as demonstrations of what the screen can do:

PRESENTER: Write a series of "pages" into a notecard - including multicolour text in multiple fonts and with clickable hotspots - and the presenter will turn them into an interactive display on your screen. Add simple instructions to process clicks and jump between pages: no scripting required. A sample presentation notecard demonstrating the features of the Bright Text Screen is included.

EREADER: Drop notecards into the reader, and their titles will be shown on the screen. Visitors may click these to read the notecards, clicking controls to turn pages forward or back, or returning to the titles list. Perfect for in-venue help and information facilities.

CHAT VIEWER: Just rez this next to your screen, and anything said in publc chat nearby will instantly appear on the screen, complete with the name of the speaker. It's like having a public, scrolling "Nearby Chat" display in-world, with each speaker assigned a different colour to make exchanges easier to follow. It's fun, and hugely encourages public interaction between residents: but it clears itself automatically when visitors leave, so no permanent messages are left.

EMAIL SIGN: Put this box next to your screen, and it will give you an email address to which you can email text to display in-world. (Don't worry - it will only read emails quoting a password you specify.) This is an in-world sign you can update even when you aren't in Second Life - even from your smartphone! (And if you are a scripter, you can use this add-on plus the llEmail() function to update your sign from an object anywhere on the grid.)
