I like it, works great.
I especially like the "news ticker", but it would be more useful to me if it had the following options:
- Being able to refresh more often than 20 minutes, allowing a minimum value of 1 minute would be good.
- Display only the headlines without the long version
- Clicking once on the current headline would make it display the long version of it
- Double-clicking on the current headline would not only open the main window but also select that headline
- Add some gadget, RMB menu, and/or scrollwheel function to jump to the next/previous headline which would be displayed left justified and pause there for a few seconds before starting to scroll so that one can browse through the headlines quickly
