This application runs hidden in the desktop, and flashes subliminal messages on the screen. With this application, you can also:

• Encrypt messages on disk
• Pause and resume messages using hotkeys
• Configure the time duration for which messages will be flashed
• Configure the time duration between flashes
• Configure the font (type and color)
• Change the rate at which messages are displayed

Please execute the following commands:

C:\SubMsgs> compile.bat

The following executables are created upon compilation:

• subMsgs.exe
• encryptMsgs.exe
• decryptMsgs.exe

Following is the procedure to execute the messages:

• Edit configuration.conf and change the following:

  • delay_time: Time between flashes (time in ms)
  • blink_time: Time for which messages are flashed (time in ms)
  • key: Encryption key (make it an 8 character word of your choice, lets say test1234)
  • font_size: Font size of displayed messages
  • font_type: Font type of displayed messages
  • font_color: Color of displayed messages
  • msg_display_speed: Either "normal" or "slowing", or "faster" (without the quotes)

• Type in the messages in a file named messages.txt (using notepad)

• Encrypt messages.txt (clear text file) to messages.smsg (encrypted file) using the following command:

C:\SubMsgs> encryptMsgs.exe messages.txt messages.smsg test1234

• Execute subMsgs.exe
• Select configuration.conf as the configuration file
• Click on Load Messages
• Select the messages.smsg file
• Click on Clear Window

Once launched, following are the hotkeys

• Shift+Alt+D - Show/hide the configuration screen
• Shift+Alt+E - Pause/resume the messages displayed

If you want to edit/make changes to the messages, press Shift+Alt+E, click on Quit, and execute the following commands on a terminal:

C:\SubMsgs> decryptMsgs.exe messages.smsg messages.txt test123							
C:\SubMsgs> notepad messages.txt
C:\SubMsgs> encryptMsgs.exe messages.txt messages.smsg test123

After this, double click on subMsgs.exe and follow the steps described above again
