win-rss-ticker

[newdep]

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">http://newlisp.nodep.nl/win-rss-ticker/ ... ticker.zip">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: v1.3 | 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">http://www.w3.org" when clicking the ticker-bar.

using http://newlisp.nodep.nl/win-rss-ticker">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.
