    It's an excellent widget. I'm stuffed with RSS readers for this or that news site... It's terrible. Thanks for making a great rss reader like this one.

    I would vote 3 stars, but voted for 4 (max) because i've read that you will fix encoded characters like á é í in the next release... I speak portuguese =D.

    Keep up the good work!

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

    What took so LONG!?

    Finally I might start using RSS. A neat widget on the desktop (Konfabulator already running; no additional apps to launch). And the feeds in the list are MY choices, MINE do you hear!

    Thank you.

    Yeah I've really been wanting to rework the design to allow for a couple modifications. One of these is a "tabbed" like interface to allow you to read feeds more efficiently. After using my own widget for a while, I find right-clicking to change feeds rather annoying.

    As for the look of the widget itself I also want to change that. If there are any good designers out there that would like to contribute to a new design shoot me an email.

    Wow! This is great! If you could only add the ability to make it match the other RRS widgets, with the glossy rounded lines (see Slashdot feeder), it would be perfect. Great work!

    jcussol: I'm fixing the encoded character problem in the next release which should be coming soon. It's very high priority.

    Ian: Thanks for the comments! Font color is *so* easy I can't believe I didn't think to add that along with the changing font type. It will also be included in the next version.

    As for "hiding" stories, I'm thinking of adding the ability to mark stories as "read". So when you read something, it disappears from the list.

Get It!
