#DEMONENS SCROLLER SCRIPT!
#scroller.pl
#This script will create a small 10-character scroller on the irssi status bar.
#It is pretty much useless.
#I use it to remind myself about meetings, phonecalls I'm supposed to make etc
#
#Enjoy to the extent possible.
#
# -Demonen
#
#To make it show up in irrsi, do this:
# 1) put scroller.pl in ~/.irssi/scripts
# This is where irssi expects to find scripts
#
# 2) in irssi, give the command /script load scroller
# Some stuff will appear in your status window.
#
# 3) in irssi, give the command /statusbar window add -after more -alignment right scroller
# This will enable the scroller element on the status bar.
#
# 4) in irssi, give the command /set scrollerText
# This will scroll the text
#
# 5) in irssi, give the command /set scrollerSpeed
# This is the delay in milliseconds before it cycles to the next character.
# I use 200 here, but anything above 10 is just fine.
