Make Me Read V1
A tiny project that I thought up the other day. The idea being that you drop a document onto the Make Me Read application and it opens it up allowing you to read through it by holding down the left mouse button or using the scroll wheel. I thought this might be handy to run in the background so that whenever I'm forced to wait for something, I can continue reading my document.
I haven't tried it out fully yet, but if I find it to be of any use then I'll make a better version with more custom settings.
Let me just emphasize that this is a test application, and as such, is made for testing my idea alone.

Sounds very interesting, I'm just wondering what the advantage of this is over the standard notepad application? Its nice to click to scroll down but you can still use a mouse wheel with it. Never the less its quite workable, whats other file types can it work with?
It will paste the file contents directly to the screen; so any file type, it just might not make any sense.
One thing I've been thinking about adding is perhaps a gradient colour to the back that flashes or gets darker/brighter the longer you leave it without scrolling down, hence encouraging you to read.
Statistics could also be produced, such as how many lines/words you've read so far, how long it will take you to finish reading if you keep going at the set speed and the like.
