Users can position the ticker on the bottom or to the side of the screen and configure it for text-only or to include image previews.

News Bar has been released as a beta and curates news content from over 4,500 publications into a ticker tape format.

Microsoft is introducing a scrolling new ticker app for Windows 10. This window manager tool now includes Zone flipping switching between monitors, and a simplified UX for multi monitor users. Those who are already using PowerToys from previous releases might be pleased with the FancyZone improvements. For example the utility can also be used for file renaming and format conversion (JPG, PNG, TIF). There are a number of resizing presets as well as a custom option and further settings. You can select the files you want to resize using the mouse, or via search results and right click to bring up the resizing menu dialogue box. Image Resizer is a Windows shell extension which facilitates the resizing of image files selected in File Explorer and is particularly useful for bulk resizing. For now this custom preview handler has been used to add quick previews of SVG images and Markdown documents in File Explorer. PowerPreview shows a 'lightweight, rich, read-only preview of the file's contents in the view's reading pan,' explains Microsoft. This brings up a list of matching windows which can be selected with up/down keys. One launches Windows Walker with the Win-Ctrl key combo and starts to type. Its real skill is it can do this using just keyboard commands, no mouse input required. This utility allows you to find and bring to the foreground any open window. Window Walker is a charmingly named Alt-Tab alternative for app/window switching. The new utilities delivered in PowerToys 0.16 include Window Walker, PowerPreview, and Image Resizer - and there are FancyZone improvements too. This release is notable for its adding of a plethora of new features, it isn't just a quality / stability release but there are those too - over 100 bug fixes in all.
