Windows 7 How to place a text banner on the desktop?

[Carson Dyle]

I'd like to place a banner of sorts - just some text - on my desktop. Is there a widget/gadget or something similar that would let me do this? I'm not talking about a note to myself, or a post-it. I mean more like large block letters that would run across the width of a monitor.

To display a large text banner on your desktop in Windows 10, you have a couple of options: 1. Sticky Notes: - While Sticky Notes are typically used for short notes, you can resize them to display larger text. You can create a new Sticky Note, enter your text, then manually resize the note to stretch across the width of your monitor. 2. Rainmeter: - Rainmeter is a popular desktop customization tool for Windows that allows you to create and display various widgets, including text banners. You can create a custom text banner using a Rainmeter skin. Here's how you can set up a simple text banner using Rainmeter: - Download and install Rainmeter from the official website. - Find a text skin or create a custom one. You can search for "Rainmeter text skins" online to find one that suits your needs. - Install the skin by double-clicking the downloaded file. It should load into Rainmeter. - You can then customize the skin to display the text banner with the font size, color, and other settings you prefer. 3. Wallpaper or Screensaver: - Another option is to create an image with the text you want and set it as your wallpaper. This way, the text will be displayed prominently on your desktop background. You can also create a text screensaver with your message. These methods should allow you to display a large text banner or message on your desktop in Windows 10. Rainmeter offers the most customization options and flexibility for creating custom desktop widgets and text displays.
