fRiSS - RSS feeds on the Desktop

fRiSS is a native RSS reader for Zeta, and it can run both in window and replicant mode:

By right-clicking the mouse in the application, a menu will appear. From this menu you can toggle between the feeds by choosing Next Feed, Previous Feed and Select Feed. Choosing Refresh will reload the feed, and if there are changes, they will be shown.

From the Preferences window you can Add, Edit and Remove feeds. By default there are four news site feeds: BeBits, IsComputerOn, TheBeOSJournal and OSNews.

You can also set the background color in the feed. When you run fRiSS as a replicant you would like it to have the same color as the desktop. The default blue color of the desktop in Zeta is R: 51, G: 102 and B: 152.

Once you create a replicant, it becomes independant and stores its own settings.

If you don't have broadband connection you might want to change the default Refresh interval which is set to be 5 minutes. You would then have a limited bandwidth, and a longer interval might be a better solution.

The developer of the application has added a "hidden feature" in the Twitcher, from the screenshots you can see how the application's icon changes when choosing it.
