To register a feed, enter the feed URL and click the three-arrow-button below.
Don't forget to click the three-arrow-button when you update something, too.
If you don't enter the title, it will be set from the feed.

heres is a hint if you get undefined, change the language and it should be fixed. otherwise there it is from the top: language, style, font size, use scroll [yes no], url, title, number of default display, update interval (mins), mark read [all, reset, do nothing]

Is there a way to import OPML files?

Thank you for large font because I like to scale down this widget size using +/- buttons. However, I still think this widget is way too wide in the first place. I really do not like number of widgets because they are designed being too wide.

Moreover, language options are mixed, and I had to select French to get UI in English.

What's with all of the Undefined in the Options part of this widget in Opera 9.63?

By NylyanAranel , # Mar 1, 2009 9:44:10 PM

@ csternberg, since it's the name of the widget, it's right to be displayed. But I agree that perhaps it's too big

Maybe a smaller label or at least some nice logo.

I love it. Much better then the default RSS-Feed-retriever in Opera.
Two things:
1.Why in the options menu each and every label is marked with "undefined" ? O_O Is it only by me so?
2. I've noticed that to open the user-defined number of RSS-news' lines, you have to click once, but in order to get a full view of all RSS-news you have to click one more time to expand the RSS-board. Then in order to close the board so that all news hide, you have to click twice if you're in the second mode (full view). It'll be better and faster if you work on this. Make the menu more comfortable

Like one button for full view and one button for user-defined number of rss-lines so that one can open and close full view with only one click. Hope you understand what I mean ^^

EDIT: A minimised form of the widget will be nice too. Also when the widget is at the bottom of the screen and you open the news, it opens them always downward and in this case you can't see them. A nice fix will be to make it detect remaining space and height

Thank You! *Much* easier for simple newstickers than Opera's reader. One wish: Option to hide title "RSS Checker"

good work

By kabat1 , # Sep 6, 2008 11:27:06 AM

ohhhhh, i like it

By malade , # Sep 4, 2008 1:37:34 PM

Does this work with the stablke version of 9.5? All the labels bar URl come up as undefined and i can't subscribe to anything.

Opera's feed reader seems to work but not this widget. i just want the topic headings so if this is a problem for me can anyone suggest anything that does a similar job to this widget?

By rich_c1982@hotmail.com , # Jul 2, 2008 11:15:50 AM

Well done!!

Could the RSSChecker get a little bit more place for the topics = wider?!!

Neue Version - Updates - Patches - SPs für Linux: Sea....

What mean this topic ??

I hope you know what I mean.

I really like this widget, and enjoy it more than Opera's built in feed updater by far, but have one queston.

By a couple of my feeds, it displays (could not get) after the feed's title and before the amount of updates it has. It doesn't seem to affect anything, though, as those feeds still show updates just as they normally would.

Is this just a graphical glitch or am I not understanding something?

Very nice widget and very useful (!) as the Opera-internal RSS reader gets slow and stuffed with feed content over time. However in RSS Checker I miss the short description beyond the title that some RSS feeds contain - maybe a feature for the next major version?

By BurninLeo , # Jan 16, 2008 7:58:21 AM

It's a very good idea, but it's extremely annoying when each item disappears when you click on it once. In order to get it back, you then have to go into settings and restore all the items. Could you make it keep all the items there even after you've clicked on them?

By gorcq , # Oct 29, 2007 5:25:35 AM

What I'd really like to see would be a generic RSS checker that allows a ticker-style view. Any chance of you adding "feed ticker" functionality to this? Other than a ticker, I have no need for an RSS checker Widget when Opera has a feed reader built in.

Cool

By Nexus009 , # Jul 4, 2007 10:52:54 PM

A really nice widget! Thank you!!!

By Chianti , # Jun 6, 2007 8:12:39 AM

I added the scroll option, mark all as read and reset all the cleared items at the configure view.

By ran.orchid , # Jan 28, 2007 5:22:04 PM

Excellent widget and design! If it had a couple of more things it would be perfect for me (I hope I haven't just missed these somewhere

1) A button to 'mark all as read' instead of manually clicking each x.
2) A button to reset all the cleared items - if you accidentally remove an item and want to get it back. At the moment I have to delete the feed from the configuration and readd it.
3) A scrollbar (maybe only in the expanded view? and maybe a visible icon in the compact view to indicate there are too many to be shown?)

After typing that I thought all that stuff might clutter up the widget a bit - i dunno... depends on what you want to do with it I guess

By TheFlyingPengwyn , # Dec 22, 2006 6:15:39 AM

I have thought that I couldn't solve it, but now I can!

The widget will be placed in the center of the screen when you download it.

By ran.orchid , # Nov 3, 2006 6:57:27 PM

Actually, I have a lot of news subscriptions and when expanded the widget takes more space in vertical direction than my screen can fit. Can you make some sort of a scroll bar to scroll through the news sources rather than make the widget so big?
