Shimmer

Shimmer applet parameters
There are 3 parameters for the Shimmer applet. Only image is required.
image color speed
An Explaination of the Parameters
image - The GIF image to be used. The color set as transparent will be shimmered. Animated GIFs don't work most of the time--don't use them.
color - Sets the shimmer color, in hex. Best results are achieved with colors not too ligh and not too dark. Colors on the darker side (such as 004400) work best.
speed - Sets the "brake" time, in ms. Default is 22. A higher integer results in a slower shimmer time.

Useage
Just create a GIF image with transparency. Copy the image to the same directory as Shimmer.class and set it as the value in the image parameter. The image will stretch to fit the applet window, so be sure to set the appropriate width and height.

Issues

Large (tall) images may appear to have a slow shimmer time on slower machines.
Slow downs may occur if many instances of Shimmer on one page. This usually does not occur on faster machines.
