Description: A reader for Reuters(TM) news summaries from Yahoo!
The news summary is displayed in a window (as an
application) or on the blanked screen (using a
Blanket compatible screen blanker module). A "prefs"
popup allows selection of a particular setting,
and customization of colors (using a list, rather
than a color selector, in deference to color blind users),
fonts, time and network (proxy host, download frequency)
settings.
Notes: Uses Jon Watte's libprefs to store changed settings,
Robert Polic's slider to change settings, and Jon Watte's
be-sfx to play the teletype like sound in the copyright
and about popups. Does not currently support
replicants. (Coming!)
Newest Features: talking buttons, fully implemented preferences popup,
Kagi registration
