Today we are proud to announce JammText 1.2 is now available. This latest version includes a revamped display with more customization options and better performance. You can now change the background and color scheme, as well as add transparency to the text boxes. We have also included a new “light” theme that displays messages in white text boxes for use in outdoor or other bright settings. These new options allow you to customize JammText with a background picture of your bride and groom, your logo, or any other image. Match the color scheme of the wedding or holidays such as St Patrick’s Day or Halloween.

JammText 1.2 includes several other new features. A new events page shows past event pictures and messages. You can export individual pictures from events or the entire event with a couple of clicks. As before, we included a convenient HTML output so you can upload the pictures directly to your website. You can also export pictures directly from the message feed by right-clicking on the picture.

We also added two new buttons to the control window. The first button allows you to conveniently reply back to messages. Click it to go instantly to the contacts page and view the contact that sent you a message. Enter a message to reply instantly. The second button toggles the display. Use this to turn off the JammText output temporarily and turn it back on. You can also customize this button to control karaoke mode instead. This allows karaoke DJs to switch back and forth between karaoke mode and regular JammText, so you can easily run JammText full screen with pictures when people are not singing.
