DESCRIPTION
Subliminal Message Pro helps you explore the idea of subliminal messages. Messages up to 80 characters are displayed on top of everything on your display. The SMP Control Panel lets you set the horizontal and vertical offsets, on-screen time, the period between flashes, the font size, font color, bold on/off, and font darkness. Five message categories with five messages each are provided to help you understand how the program works but you can enter your own categories and messages. Displayed messages are chosen (in list order or at random) from checked messages.
Categories and messages may include Latin, Japanese, Spanish, French, German, Greek, Korean, Cirillic, Hebrew, Russian, Afrikaans, Polish, etc., characters. Control Panel settings and Message Table information are saved between sessions. The Demo provides full features for ten minutes, after which time the application closes. Registration removes this limitation.
WHAT'S NEW
Version 1.4:
- Uses default messages in the third person. For example: "You are a caring person" vice "I am a caring person".
REQUIREMENTS
Mac OS X 10.2 or later.

RPPHOTO I like this funny app, which also actually works. Never seen an app grow in version numbers so quickly, already at number 5. It does get alot of updates, though.

PAUL YOUNG You may not have noticed that the "Darkness" slider also dims the picture. You can make the picture completely impossible to see if you move this slider to the far left. Bring the slider up until the picture is just visible. Paul Young, CSoM

PAUL YOUNG Robert, excellent question on timing. The on-screen time is the time that the information is sent to the screen but different displays have different response times. A flashed message on a slow display will be slower to decay. Paul Young, CSoM

ROBERT With which CPU and graphics cards do the timing selections test as accurate for pictures? Every setting seems the same--actually the shorter settings seems longer, though this may be because of my expectation that they be less noticeable. I find every image readily recognizable and quite superliminal. Images are even more intrusive by the white background that is flashed around them to fill the entire screen. Oddly, pictures must be kept in a fixed subfolder of ~/Documents instead of a selectable folder or even a subfolder in... ~/Pictures. To make your images available to the program, you can make an alias to your folder of images, move it under ~/Documents, and rename it to "SMPictures".

CHRIS REDDEN Open up system preferences, go to displays and check the refresh rate your monitor is running at. Divide 1000 by your refresh rate. This number is the smallest increment, in milliseconds, that your monitor is capable of displaying a message for. For example, a refresh rate of 60 Hz gives an increment of 16.7ms. This means the shortest amount of time the message can be displayed for is 16.7ms. The next increment up would be 33.3ms. The next would be 50ms. The slider in this application gives you the illusion that you have much finer control over the timing than you actually do, because your monitor only refreshes itself a fixed number of times per second (usually in the 50-100 range).

HEATHERMASON Um... do subliminal messages work if you are the one who programs them for yourself?

BARTELOMEUS Long sentences do not work as subliminal messages. Only pictures or simple words. And simple words work only for a short time.

WAKAYAMA great little app, does one job, and now very nicely with the text over all apps. Can I make a request though, and have the duration last longer? Say up to 500ms or eevn 1 second. Not subliminal I know, but nevertheless a great tool for language learning (trying to grasp a sentence with kanji and hiragana in 25ms, or even 50 is beyond my tiny brain) cheers, and keep up the great work - it's appreciated!

PAUL YOUNG There is an unadvertised feature of Subliminal Message Pro that some may like. If you hover your mouse in the top right hand corner of the Control Panel window, messages are displayed for one second, regardless of the slider setting. Paul Young, CSoM

HULLBODY I used similar software on the pc for quite a while. Cool stuff. This software has a major flaw and that is the ability to write a long string of text...like a full sentence. I'd pay for such software
