If that's on the screen is it viewable across the room?

If so then you can just load that up in firefox/chrome and have that resized to where you want it on screen and if you set it as your homepage then next time you start the program it will load that up and keep the browser the same size and location.

Thanks for messing with it!  :cheers:

Still not as big as I'd like, but it looks a whole lot better than the original when magnified.
My jukebox has a 4:3 screen, so I can't make it too long.  :-\
I'm zooming in on just the red scores section and cutting off the black news section.
I think this will work.

I should play around with some different magnifier programs.  I just used the first one I found.
It would be cool to find one that could run two instances and magnify two different areas.
That way I could stack the scores on top of the news and have both.

Try this

--- Code: ---<body bgcolor="#000000">
<embed name="example_flashGame" src="http://static.espn.go.com/bottomline/espnewsbottomline_cust.swf" width="1800" height="120" allowScriptAccess="always" loop="false" menu="false" quality="high"  wmode="window" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed>
--- End code ---

Create a new text file and paste the above into it then rename it to htm and then see how that looks

Currently it's huge on my screen and only shows the small section on where the actual information is.

I'm currently at work so i don't have much time to fiddle with it and code it better but it works fine a few improvements would be to set no scroll bar on the bottom etc.

But see how that goes for you it was tested in firefox fyi

BadMouth:
oooh, seems understandable enough that I can tinker with it and maybe learn something.  :)
I expected something more cryptic.
