- You can hide the feed items you have read.
- You can filter the parts of your feeds separately, you can prevent seeing particular items by their title or by their content. (using regular expression)
- You can resize the gadget dynamically, without opening the settings. It will automatically adjust the number of feeds per page according to the height.(there are invisible scrollbars at the top and left)
- You can set your own font and font size.(includes all the fonts your computer have)
- You can set autoscroll interval and it will automatically change pages.
- You can easily create your own themes. (click here for information about how to make a theme)
- You can view feed thumbnails when you click on feeds for details.
- Auto-update will mostly take care of the bugs & improvements, you only need to install the gadget once.
- Many other features to make the gadget better.
If you want to help to develop the gadget (making language packs, themes, code writing...), you can communicate me via e-mail.
