Here are some examples of different effects you can apply to the counter. The keywords in the query strings can be separated with &.
Frame colour and Thickness

A frame with a blueish colour is wrapped by default. You have to use ft=0 no ignore this feature. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count"



This may not work with all browsers. You should use at least one keyword in the query string (for example, df=myname.filename). Random counter is displayed as no data file is specified. The default frame thickness, colour and digit style is used. 
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=1"



No df= option, therefore random digits are displayed. Because of ft=1 no frame was wrapped. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=6"



Random digits. Wrapped frame is with default colour and thickness. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=10&df=myname.filename"



Random digits. Wrapped frame is with default colour and asked thickness. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?frgb=ffd700&df=myname.filename"



The wrapped frame is of the asked colour and default thickness. The colour is used as hex string. Note, DO NOT add # before the string as you use with Netscape. In query string, if you use a #, everything after # is ignored. So, be careful.

or you use can use the RGB triplets: 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?frgb=255;215;0&df=myname.filename"


or you even use the colour name. You have to add this support while you configure using the Count-config script. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?frgb=gold&df=myname.filename"
Comma can be displayed 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=0&df=myname.filename&comma=T"
Rotation 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=0&rotate=Y&df=myname.filename"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=0&degrees=180&df=myname.filename"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=0&degrees=90"df=myname.filename



The first counter is rotated default 270 degrees toward right, no anlge is specified as rotate keyword is used.
Digit Styles 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=A&df=myname.filename"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=B&df=myname.filename"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=B&frgb=69;139;116&df=myname.filename"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=C&df=myname.filename"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=D&ft=3&df=myname.filename"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=2&frgb=000000&dd=E&df=myname.filename"


These are the default supplied digit styles. Eidosnet have installed nearly 400 other digit styles.

Change any colour

Change green colour to red 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?df=myname.filename&srgb=00ff00&prgb=ff0000"




Negate the colours 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?netate=T&dd=A&df=myname.filename"



Note that the digit colour is negated but the frame is not.
Transparency

A specific colour of the digits can be made transparent on the fly. Note the counter program do not care if your gif images are transparent or not, you have to tell explicitly which colour to make transparent. Here we will make the white colour of the digit style E transparent. We will not use any frame either, just to make it look simple. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=E&ft=0&tr=T&trgb=ffffff"


You can use the RGB triplets for the colour: 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=E&ft=0&tr=T&trgb=255;255;255"


Make the black colour of the digit style A transparent: 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=A&tr=T&trgb=000000&df=myname.filename"
or 
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=A&tr=T&trgb=0;0;0&df=myname.filename"
or 
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=A&tr=T&trgb=black&df=myname.filename"

Make the green colour of the digit style A transparent: 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=A&tr=T&trgb=00ff00&df=myname.filename"
or 
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=A&tr=T&trgb=0;255;0&df=myname.filename"
or 
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=A&tr=T&trgb=green&df=myname.filename"
Hide the counter

You can keep the counter hidden if you like. You can do this by sh=0. The hit will be recorded but the counter will not be displayed. A 1x1 transparent GIF image is written which gives the illusion. You can use the no-increment feature for monitoring those hits to a secret page (described later) 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?sh=0&df=myname.filename"

A hidden counter is up there.

Monitor counter hits

You might have kept your counter hidden (or not). You can monitor the hits from another page just specifying the datafile and the keyword incr=F 
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?incr=F&df=page1.dat"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?incr=F&df=page2.dat"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?incr=F&df=page3.dat"
Number of digits

Say you want to display the counter in 5 digits only. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?md=5&df=myname.filename"


or you do not want to left pad with zero, you want to display exact digits. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?pad=0&df=myname.filename"
Literal

You can display a string literally. The valid characters in a string are 0123456789,:-ap 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?lit=0123456789"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=B&lit=0123456789"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=C&lit=0123456789"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?dd=D&lit=0123456789"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?ft=0&tr=1&trgb=ffffff&dd=E&lit=0123456789"
<img src="/cgi-bin/count?lit=a1,456-:p"
Counter as clock

Display time in 12 hr format. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?display=clock"


Display time in 24 hour format. 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?display=clock&tformat=24"


Display date 

<img src="/cgi-bin/count?display=date"


Use timezone parameter to display time or date of any place in the world. The counter images you are seeing on this page are previously generated with the described URL tags. They are not generated when you load the page, because it creates unnecessary load on the machine. This page is here just to show how the counter can be run with various optional parameters.
