TheNewsSniffer is a Deskbar
replicant showing you
newsfeeds from your favourite news sites. The formats are used to
make a subscribable list of recent updates or items from a news
or blog feed:

In feeds there are added by default three important sites for the
Zeta community.

To add your own feeds, simply choose New feed..., and add
the name of the site in the field for Syndicate Name and
the URL to the feed:

Depending on your Internet connection, you should set the Check
Interval. By default it is set to 10 minutes. If you have added
several news feeds to TheNewsSniffer, you should concider setting
the application to check for news updates more often.

In the Preferences you can also change the colors on the text and
the background to better fit your wallpaper. By default the color
on the text is black and the background white.

TheNewsSniffer will only show the news update once. The next time
you start Zeta, the application will only show news updates posted
after the last time you ran the computer. The feeds are presented
in the bottom of the screen. By clicking on the headlines, your
default Internet browser will load you the whole news update.
