StarsMenu

Usage: The starsMenu java applet is a fully customizable animated text menu that gives the illusion of flying in space while allowing different url links to different messages flying by. the applet can be used as an animated menu, an advertising banner or just to add interactivity to a webpage. Among the different parameters that can be controlled from the HTML code are the different messages, a different color of each message (or a default color for any message that wasn't specified otherwise), a different status bar message at the bottom of the browser window, a different url to link to upon clicking on the applet window, the highlight color of the messages (when the mouse is inside the applet window), the target window or frame for the link and some control over the speed of the applet.

Download the starsMenu.class and place it in your HTML directory.
