FakeMessageMaker Description
FakeMessageMaker is a lightweight program that, as its name suggests, enables you to create fake error, warning or notification messages. It uses the standard Windows message box layout and allows you to write custom titles and descriptions.
Fun application that could use some improvements
Even though FakeMessageMaker was created primarily to help you prank your friends, it is not particularly well suited for this purpose, as you cannot have the application display the error message after a certain amount of time has passed.
Also, the program is not minimized when a message is displayed, so it should be fairly obvious that the error, warning or notification is not genuine.
Easy-to-use tool that may be useful for software developers
While FakeMessageMaker is not great at setting up pranks, it may find its use in the hands of developers who need to check the layout of the error messages their applications might generate.
However, there are very few customization options available, as you can only choose between the three main message types, provide the title and the description. You cannot add additional buttons or insert any other elements.
You can write the description in a separate text editor and then just paste it into the correct field, but the message text’s length is limited to 1024 characters.
Lightweight program that allows you to generate error messages
FakeMessageMaker is available in two editions, one of them installer-based and the other fully portable. Therefore, you have the option of executing it from various storage devices without having to go through a setup procedure beforehand.
Whichever one you choose, however, the initial license agreement is displayed every time you launch the application, which seems unnecessary.
All in all, FakeMessageMaker is a nifty application that enables you to create and display personalized error, warning or notification messages. It may prove to be useful for software developers, but it is not well-suited for setting up pranks and offers very few customization options.
