Perhaps BVC will support that in v1.1? re: the rocket launcher

Even with CCTray you can ignore a dot in your task bar, but its a little harder to ignore a huge red band on a monitor in your room. Perhaps even more importantly its embarrassing to have a huge red band displayed on a monitor in the room. Big Visible Cruise is a nice little app that makes it easy to display your build status on that spare monitor in your room. (or even nicer would be to grab one of those cheap Vizio LCD TVs and throw it up on the wall) -James Published Wednesday, November 21, 2007 2:17 PM by .Avery Blog [...] [...] One of the problems with Cruise Control is that while it is constant feedback, it can be pretty easy to ignore.
