For people having trouble with the archives, I don't know what the specific issue is, but I would highly recommend 7-zip for all of your compression and decompression needs.
nice hope this help me lucid dream i change it red :)
UPDATE:
Version 1.1 released.

There are a lot of changes this time!
Now you can have as many tickers as you want, each with it's own texts and attributes.
I added a few new attributes to set the direction and to set fade in and out.
look below for the default new yad.xml file.
To add a ticker you create another Ticker section.
The new attributes:
fading="yes" set the ticker to fade in and out
hiddenTime="1" set how much time in seconds you want it to be hidden after it fades out
visibleTime="8" set how much time in seconds you want it to be visible after it fades in
randomFadingTime="yes" set the hiddenTime and visibleTime values to change randomly
direction="right" set the direction. possible values are: right, left, up, down
randomDirection="no" set the direction to change randomly each time the ticker reaches the end of the screen
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Main>
<Ticker x="0" y="0" delay="30" r="220" g="220" b="220"
alpha="100" jumpingjack="yes" wait="0" fading="yes" hiddenTime="1" visibleTime="8"
randomFadingTime="yes" direction="right" randomDirection="no">
<text value="You are dreaming"/>
<text value="This is a dream"/>
<text value="Is This a dream?"/>
</Ticker>
<Ticker x="100" y="100" delay="30" r="220" g="220" b="220"
alpha="100" jumpingjack="yes" wait="0" fading="yes" hiddenTime="1" visibleTime="1"
randomFadingTime="yes" direction="up" randomDirection="no">
<text value="Are you dreaming?"/>
<text value="You will have a lucid dream tonight"/>
<text value="Do a reality check!"/>
<text value="Did you do a reality check?"/>
</Ticker>
</Main>
UPDATE:
Ok, in case anyone downloaded the latest version already,
I just fixed a little bug that causes the direction never to be down when using the randomDirection mode
UPDATE:
Now you can close the program easily by clicking on the tree icon in the Task-Bar.
hmm...It's gotten a lot better in the month I haven't posted here. I am very satisfied with the improvements. Pretty cool. I think this has a good chance of getting me lucid. By the way, when you set it to crawl down the screen, will it start again at the top when it hits the bottom?
EDIT: never mind the last question, I figured out the answer just as I posted. To my satisfaction, it is yes.
UPDATE: released version 1.3!
there are a few new attributes: random color change, font, and an option to set a quick flash for subliminal effect.
download it as usual from http://www.sadglad.com/yad/yad.zip
( you can also download the hebrew version from http://www.sadglad.com/yad/yad-hebrew.zip )
randomColor Makes the text change color randomly using a gradiant transition. Values can be "yes" or "no"
fontSize Size of the font
fontName The font name
fontBold Makes the font bold. Values can be "yes" or "no"
flash Makes the ticker apear once in a while for a short time and disapear again. Note: for the flash to work properly, the 'delay' attribute should be set to a low value such as 20 or 30.
flashTime Set the approximate time for the ticker to apear ( if flash="yes"). The lower the value, the more often it will apear, but there is a random factor so it does not apear at regular intervals. Note: for the flash to work properly, the 'delay' attribute should be set to a low value such as 20 or 30.
Nice work! Thanks for this. =D
2 nights ago I had a funny dream! (after using Yad, which I managed to convert the newest version from winzip :) )
I was in a building with money all over the ground, and there were people. All of them were repeating "Is this a dream?" and "Are you dreaming"
Funny thing is, I didn't become Lucid.
But YAD works ;)
ha, thats great :goodjob2:
A couple of nights ago I had a dream where I was working on programming YAD.
but didn't become lucid... :whyohwhy: :shakehead2:
ok im resurrecting an old thread but the program seems cool enough to get more publicity.
Anyways i was just wondering, im a total ld beginner, never had a single one, but would it work better if the phrases popping up were " I will remember my dreams etc. not You will remember your dreams.
This is just a question, i dont know how the subconcious works
Thanks for resurrecting the thread ;)
You have got a good idea, give it a try. You can even have some tickers say I, and some say You, to cover all options.. The default phrases that I entered are just examples, it's best if you change it to whatever you think will work best for you.
What, no Linux version? (It looks aweful in wine)
good idea, but have you ever heard of brain bullet? It does a similar thing
BTW, lately I changed the font sizes of the sliding tickers on my own copy larger (eg. fontSize="36" ). It's much harder for me to ignore it that way.
Thanks for this. The other night I DLed the movie "The Number 23." That night I dreamed about Joel Schumacher. Thing is, I had NO idea Schumacher directed it when I DLed it. Didn't find out til the next day. I must have seen his name on the DL page w/o realizing it and it slipped into my subconscious. Hopefully this'll do the same!
