Product Description:

Get the showtimes for your local movie theaters in this gorgeous aqua marquee. Enter your zip code or postal code and Marquee will download the showtimes for all of the theaters in your area. Use the left and right arrows to scroll through the theaters to find the one that you want. Then use the up and down arrows to scroll through the movie listings. In order to save room for the other widgets on your desktop, Marquee will only display three movie listings per screen. Showtime data is downloaded each time you enter a zip code, or if it has been more than twelve hours since showtimes were downloaded last.

This version is 30% smaller to make room for your growing widget collection. If any of the information on the marquee is too long to fit, you can move your mouse over it and it will scroll across the marquee so that you can view the information in its entirety.

What's new in this version:

  • Marquee now updates each time the dashboard is shown, rather than every 12 hours.
  • Fixed a bug that caused an "object does not allow calls" error to be periodically logged to the console.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 or later

Marquee Troubleshooting ReportLeopard Fix - Version: 1.0.4, 4/11/2008 06:29PM PST

Hi all, For anyone still interested in using Marquee in Leopard, there is a fairly easy fix. Lines 496 and 497 in Marquee.js need to be edited from...
    document.getElementById("movie" + number).innerText = movieName;
    document.getElementById("time" + number).innerText = movieTime;
to read...
    document.getElementById("movie" + number).innerText = movieName.substring(2);
    document.getElementById("time" + number).innerText = movieTime.substring(2);
Later, Brad

I just attempted to use Marquee and found it to be no longer working under Leopard. I downloaded this version and found it too was broken since the update to 10.5. Good news, a better Movie wideget is included in Leopard...bye bye Marquee....

Marquee ReviewCPU hog - Version: 1.0.4, 10/20/2005 03:24PM PST

Nearly since Tiger was released I've used Marquee. Even in it's earlier version of ginormous porportions. Since the upgrade to v 1.0.4 it has consistently attempted to hog about 50 % of the CPU on my 867mhz Ti PowerBook. Every time I launch Dashboard total CPU pegs out and I have the kill the process in Activity Monitor to free it back up. I've deleted the app and it's preflist all to no avail. My suggestion is to not use this Widget until they fix things. I've tried posting on the msg board at the developer's site, but their msg boards aren't working giving me a 403 error. Other than this pain in the @#$ it works wonderfully.
