Caution users of older versions!! if you delete the old widget you will have to re-enter all your old feeds manually!! The author should have accounted for this. Over all still a good widget. Better if the writer could fix this over site.

"Since the upgrade from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2, when I double-click an item to open it in my browser, the scrolling display jumps back to the 1st item in the 1st channel. Before it used to continue from where you were reading."

Sorry about that Dave. I actually forgot about that feature so I did not test it (oops). I will fix this in the next release.

Since the upgrade from 1.7.1 to 1.7.2, when I double-click an item to open it in my browser, the scrolling display jumps back to the 1st item in the 1st channel. Before it used to continue from where you were reading.

Please note that this widget has been renamed from "RSS_Ticker_Tape.widget" to "RSS Ticker Tape.widget". The underscores were removed because the “Yahoo! Widget Gallery” widget removes them anyway (when downloading a widget). If you would like to avoid adding your feeds back in from scratch then you may either rename the widget back to "RSS_Ticker_Tape.widget", or save it with the new name and rename it in the Windows registry or corresponding widget settings repository on the Mac.

Hi Paul, I have to say this is a very great widget first! But I hope can see some options added in the future:
1. Enlarge the "Ticker Padding" value: I use the "Economy Mode" and 19" monitor (1280x1024), so I always see 2 haedlines at a time... even I select the max padding value...
2. Can you make the ticker scroll vertically? Just like CNN International...
3. About the "freshness", can we choose to show "time" in the future? Just like your another g…ood widget, stock ticker tape...

Once again, thanks for your good widget! It's so good and useful!
