One of the many unique features of the Guru News Ticker is the ability to display Live bookmarks in the Internet Explorer, Firefox and Maxthon browsers. These "bookmarks" change periodically and give users easy access to the latest news.

The news ticker color-codes headlines based on news channel specific keywords and uses Windows real-time functions to implement its extremely smooth, flicker-free scroll. Other included functions are: Customization of colors, fonts, scrolling speed, headline update frequency, drag&drop, access of username/password protected channels.

In order to save screen space, the ticker can be minimized to a tiny window (or toolbar button) which allows access to the news headlines through a drop-down window.
