Across Lite/Java Customization Possibilities

The applet is designed to be easily customized for specific publisher needs. If the applet as shown in this preview does not satisfy your requirements in any way, just contact us with  your wish-list and we should be able to accommodate you rather easily. To give you an idea of the types of customizations that are possible, we have listed a few on this page.

We gve you an option to place your logo on the left panel of the applet when we prepare your purchased applet.

User-interface customization:

• The left panel with the logo and check and reveal commands can be completely customized to fit the web site design style both in the design and color scheme. Or it can be completely left out to conserve space on the web page.
• Advertiser logos or company logos can be placed on that panel either as a fixed image or as a periodically updated image associated with click-thru functionality.
• The clue lists can be moved from the right side to any side (top, bottom or left) of the puzzle grid to fit the available real estate on the web page. They can even be replaced by a popup clue prompt showing just the current clue if space for the applet is at a premium due to the web page design.

Applet features customization:

• The applet shown with the sample puzzles in this preview is a careful compromise between functionality, aesthetics and applet code size that determines the download time for the applet to appear on user's web browsers. For current versions of Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer, it takes about 15-20 seconds to download on a dial-in Internet connection. The applet as shown features a subset of the commands that our downloadable versions of the program contain.
  
  Based on the focus of the web site, additional functionality may be desired in the applet. Serious crossword sites may prefer more user options for their audience. Some game sites may need features to report correctness or scores back to the hosting site. Variety puzzles may need enhancements in the type of symbols or colors used in the grid. We can customize the applet to suit particular needs and configure the applet with just the set of features needed for a specific application or site type.
  
  The applet as demonstrated in this showcase is designed for most sites that have no special requirements.
