Instructions: Options do not go into effect until the "Save/Apply" button has been hit. The only exceptions are entering new URLs, which occur as soon as "Enter" is hit, deleting URLs, which occur either when the button, or "Delete" are hit, and moving or resizing the screen, which only occurs on startup. 06 August 2012 Phase IV is complete and all planned functionality has been added to the project. If any bugs are found, please contact me via this github account I should have an SMTP server set up soon, and when that happens an account will be made specifically for bug reports. More on that when it occurs. 31 July 2012 Phase III has been completed. Feeds now stream in a random order across the ticker. Also, clicking one will immediately remove it from the list of possible links to scroll across. The ticker now refreshes its feeds during whatever time period is set. The one piece of promised functionality that has not been delivered is the ability to make links expire. However, this is partially alleviated by having the list of possible links reset everytime the ticker is updated. The ticker may now be launched with or without the options menu, depending on user settings. Also, right clicking on the ticker will open the options menu if it is not already open. The bug with the ticker not restarting after the mouse has been moved off of it seems to have been fixed. Text color has been changed from (0,0,255) to (8,232,222) in order to improve readability. Finally, the text no longer leaves a trail on the ticker as items scroll by. 27 July 2012 Phase II has been completed. Feeds now stream links across the ticker, and the links will open upon being clicked. The feeds do not look particularly nice yet, but that is for phase IV. Phase III will see the options frame made optional, as well as randomly presenting links and giving them a time limit upon which they may expire. 23 July 2012 Phase I has been completed. A moving ticker and an options menu have been implemented. RSS feeds have not yet been implemented, and options do not save between sessions. 10 July 2012 No code has been added to this repository yet, it will be added as each phase of production occurs. The goal of this project is to write a desktop RSS reader which displays feeds as a News Ticker, such as the ones seen on the bottom of the screen on news networks such as CNN, Fox, and MSNBC.
