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?

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?

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?

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

A really nice widget! Thank you!!!

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

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

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?

By AleksOD, # Nov 2, 2006 8:03:26 AM

You mean "Autohide the taskbar"? Yes, it appeared! Hmm... is there a way to solve this issue? Some users may dismiss this widget as not working.

By AleksOD, # Nov 2, 2006 7:53:05 AM

I think that it because the widget's height (1000) is larger than your screen...
It happen on my notebook, too.
My solution: if you use Windows XP, Right-Click on the Taskbar and change the status of 'Lock the Taskbar'.
Does it appear?

By ran.orchid, # Oct 31, 2006 7:41:17 AM

Hmm, I don't know if it is just me, but whenever I download the widget, it becomes invisible. I do not see anything appearing and yet Opera asks me if I want to keep it or not. Any suggestions?

By AleksOD, # Oct 31, 2006 6:13:38 AM

curwenx, thanks for your comment.
I adopted your idea, and now you could input a normal url!

It might be imperfect..., so if you find a url which doesn't work, please notice me.

By ran.orchid, # Oct 27, 2006 6:47:42 PM

Good idea... I don't like the built-in rss reader in Opera. It would be nice if you could type in a normal url and get a list of the feeds associated with that url though. (I.e. you could type www.opera.com and get a list of the feeds available for the page).

By curwenx, # Oct 27, 2006 9:19:25 AM

I know that Opera's RSS reader works well, but I want to check them at a glance on the desktop.
I'm not sure, but it seems that authentication is supported at Opera 9.02!
