Quotes Application


I like quotations a lot. I frequently change desktop backgrounds in order to have new quotations. Then I got an idea of quotations rolling on the desktop...Now I implemented it.
The attractive part of this application is the control behind the text is transparent. It appears like text rolling on desktop.
This application reads the content from a textfile line wise and show it on the form.
We can put anything in that textfile. If we put english words and their meanings, this can be used as a dictionary.
To make a control transparent on a window:
Set the bachground color of the control to the color set for "transparancykey" property of the form.
background color of control="transparencykey" color of the form
