Styling the countdown, crawler, and pager

We bought proclaim with the intent that it would save us lots of time by showing the countdown during the preservice loop. The problem is the countdown is very small and hard to read at the top right of the screen. Is there any way to edit or style that at all.

The crawler and pager we need for nursery alerts but again the text is so small it is not readable to most of the congregation. Is there any styling on this as well?

It's a good idea, though, and I've talked with the user interface designer; we'll come up with a way. (Can't promise when it'll release, though.)

I just purchased the Proclaim software with for the sole purpose of having one program that does eveything. Before we were using powerpoint, video player, a count down app, and a custom script for displaying a nursery number or "pager". Unfortunately, the pager number can't bee seen in proclaim since it is at the bottom of the page. This would be a great feature to fix in the next update if possible. Keeping Proclaim a simple user interface is key but a check box would be nice where we could chose top of screen or bottom of screen for the pager and crawler messages.

Thanks and hopefully this will come around in the next update.

It would be very nice if the pager font and background could be changed to make it more visible for our audience based upon the background being used. Thanks for considering.

I just want to vote with a post here too. Being able to style/edit these features is a big selling point for me. Want to solve a bigger problem? It would be awesome to streamline the pager from the nursery location. Maybe just have the projectionist moderate the pager... click to approve the page with an auto-off. (then a response back to the nursery that the number has been paged) If our projectionist is distracted by reading an instant message, then retyping "Parent Number ###" (seems like I can't copy/paste into the pager field) ... that will totally make them lose track of advancing slides during a talk. It's not practical when you've got 200 kids potentially going off the hook. It's got to be fast, visible, yet dismissible and not-totally distracting. I don't think I'd ever use the crawler. CNN uses a crawler to make the screen look busy for the heck of it. It's like a visual cell phone ringing loudly.

This is like an 80% dealbreaker. We use this feature a lot because our kids are terrible

I could make do with a Pager copy/paste-abilty, more characters space, auto-off timer, and a fade out would be nicer too.

Any update on this feature? I spent 2 hours getting familiar with Proclaim, love it and am ready to purchase except we absolutely cannot use the current crawl, pager & countdowns as they're too small and sometimes out of frame. If you guys can add the feature for us to style these ourselves then you'll have at least one new customer. Thanks! Daniel
