MagicBeacon is a highly configurable notification and messaging system.

Ever wanted the images drawer of your cameras picture card to be opened automatically when connecting your camera?

Ever wanted a DVD to be played automatically?

Ever wanted to see incoming EMails in a scrolling messenger on your screen?

Ever wanted to start a backup of your system by plug in the backup drive?

This is just a small number of possible ways to use MagicBeacon.

Hier you can see many examples on how the messages can look like and what you can use the notification system for. The user is able to change the look of each bubble. Each notification can use another position on screen, bubble skin, text tont and text information. Several skins are already included.


Even the news ticker can be highly configured. This is the standard view on a Clara-MorphOS-skin. Border, colors, opacity and width of the ticker are just the basics.
