Het programma wTicker kan informatie uit verschillende bronnen laten zien en is geheel naar eigen wensen aan te passen. Het toont onder andere informatie uit verschillende Atom- en RSS-feeds, emailberichten, nieuwsgroepen en beurskoersen. Daarnaast is het ook mogelijk om informatie uit bijvoorbeeld de eventlog van Windows te tonen. De informatie kan worden weergegeven in de applicatie zelf maar ook op een tickerbar die je ergens op het scherm neerzet.
