A demo is available

Edit: This post concerns “The Wall”, a discontinued project.

The Wall is an intelligent home component that can display and update text items, numeric values and bars. Also, The Wall can react to mouse clicks from a computer mouse or from a touch screen. The demo has all the functionality of the full version, but adds an overlay. This is the “Hello world” of The Wall:

BackgroundColor = "#445566"
RegisterTextItem 0, "A", 4, 4, "#aabbcc", "InitializeText"

Sub InitializeText(ByVal Item)
   Item.Value = "Hello!"
End Sub

The demo will display “Hello!” at position 4 x 4 with an overlay, like so:

The MSI file is available for download from here. If you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7, you might need to download the Microsoft Script Control, since The Wall is powered by VBScript.
