This is a newsfeed from in.gr latest news (in greek). It is a thin display - as thin as the Windows title bars - of just the headlines. I use it with the 'always on top' option and place it over the title bars all the way up on the screen. This way I can constantly get a glimpse of the current news without the display being in the way of something else. Clicking on the headlines takes you to the www.in.gr news page, in a new browser window.
This widget is basically a modification of the 'Cricket News Ticker' (http://widgets.opera.com/widget/4297). To use it with your feed of choice, for now you have to edit line 13 of file script.js (dataURL : "http://www.in.gr/RSS/feed.asp?FeedSelect=LastNews").
I am thinking about including a settings panel in future updates, where the user can select the feed URL or combining up to 3 URLs into a single feed. One other thing I would like is to have a sliding window when the mouse cursor moves over the headline, displaying the news short description.
Having said all that, I am not a programmer, I can only try to program the above ideas. If any programmer is interested, by all means go ahead and do it.
