Yeah, it seems to be in "pending" state still.

That is live now

oh that's really neat!

Oops! I just realized that it looks great in handheld, but looks like crap when docked. I will attempt to fix it and re-share...
-
OK, I added a setMode(1280, 720), and now it looks good when docked as well.
The program has been re-shared, so please re-download for the latest version.

Wow this is so effective! Seriously awesome work! @pianofire - perhaps if @vinicity doesn't mind, we could get this function into the Useful Functions sections of the Arena?
-
@Dave I do not mind at all!

If someone wants to use it in their own project, please be aware that there is a small limitation:
In order to animate the fade in, I needed to draw a solid background colored box behind the currently animating text for each frame. Since the animation is much bigger than the actual text, the box is also much bigger. This means you cannot have two rows of text that are very close to each other, since the box for the next row will partially cover the previous one. Just keep them a bit apart and you will be fine.
