Features whishlist of the Future Version!!

* Import function to existing configuration file and append the new values

* GUI / Graphical configuration editor with the Select-boxing, Slidern for Schrifgrößen etc., and each device specifications for the old, etc.

* Application will be the first official release version S60Ticker 1.0 expected to be Symbian Signed!

* Advertisement of the name, not just the number of the contact, if available. There is still at a possible solution to resource work, but according to my information is in the works. As long as you have with the display of pure Phone unfortunately provides. A small Downer, but for the first beta release certainly verkraftbar.

* Banners / Semi-Transparent Backgrounds are on my personal wish list far above, but according to Tobias has not yet feasible. If anyone of you may have a workaround, please her so! If in each case on the todo list, but so far no allzuhohe priority.

* Quasi-plug capability, in the future, other applications and information in ticker can be spent, for example RSS feeds, OutBank-Umsätze and much more.

* There are already a few ideas for other applications such as The currently going song in customizable media player, incoming e-mail, weather, stock ticker, free-form notes and appointments and Ebay information.

* Uses there are certainly many seemingly infinite, if you are thinking of a meaningful or you for one of the aforementioned strong want, but please give a comment and I will be useful for less (purely subjective) course, particularly to use!

* Presumably, 15 December will Tobias Stöger a S60Ticker Developer SDK out, using their own developer whose application to the API of S60Tickers dock. This consists of the required Client-API, header files, libraries, DLLs, etc.

* Hotkey-definition to start / stop the S60Tickers is for version 1.0 later than planned, because they know I must be Symbian Signed.

* The same goes for the auto-start function of the application

* Support for graphics / Banner (JPG, GIF)

* Timed ticker entries!

* For the 2.0 version is eventually planned theme-ability! ((Very) Vague announcement * WinkanTobias * )

* Currently, there are (still) no fixed date for the version S60Ticker 0.2 beta.
