Im a littebit playing with windows to try and integrate newlisp code
into small windows tools.
Here is a win-rss-ticker which was inspired on the linux version.
http://newlisp.nodep.nl/win-rss-ticker/win-rss-ticker.zip
readme.txt ->
win-rss-ticker.lsp is the newlisp script behind the rss-data fetching
win-rss-ticker.exe is the executable wich pops up the newlisp data on your windows screen.
Edit the win-rss-ticker.lsp file with your own rss feeds.
during the first startup win-rss-ticker.exe asks for the initial newlisp.exe
directory. Select where newlisp remains and a win-rss-ticker.ini file is created
in your current directory.
Currently it handles static 60% alpha blending of the window. (only > Win2000)
Its also not resizable or movable, its always is ni the top of the screen.
To go through a un-authenticated proxy you have to adjust win-rss-ticker.lsp
Stop win-rss.ticker.exe by pressing the [X] on the right.
Use of win-rss-ticker is at your own risk,
Enjoy, Norman
PS: I only tested this on WindowsXP, Windows2000 should work, Win98
im not sure but you may try.
Changes: v1.2 | 21-05-2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Added "HTML Predefined Character Entities" replacements for the most common quotes
- If "newisp.exe" is killed/not running then win-rss-ticker.exe will quit.
- Added Color inverse for ticker-bar
- Changed default font to "Verdana, 8"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes: v1.3 | 22-05-2006
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Left clicking on the ticker-bar will now open the RSS-Url, not the RSS topic-url!
In most cases this is the main webpage of the distributor.
- Wrong or strange RSS feeds now get the error message "ERR -> strange RSS Feed <- ERR"
and you will be linked to the webpage "http://www.w3.org" when clicking the ticker-bar.

using http://newlisp.nodep.nl/win-rss-ticker with linux with wine is running!
i just tested this and the ticker is speeding like a horse (wine 0.9.7) ;-)
Be sure to install also newlisp for windows on your linux machine to
run under wine.

Btw: Anyone intrested in an original linux version?
