quake101 Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) I started this project a while ago and I haven't updated it in some time. To keep this idea alive, I thought I would share it on here. I hope someone find this project helpful as I would like to see this with all the features/ideas listed below. The idea: Read an RSS feed and display it on the desktop in a "ticker" type format. Features: RSS source stored in a .ini file RSS update frequency stored in a .ini file (not currently being used) Pause ticker scroll on mouse over Dock (top/bottom) of the screen Context menu to change dock location. (Top/Bottom) To Do: Add hyperlinks to each RSS item Store dock location in .ini file Make use of update frequency stored in .ini file Zip: RSS_Ticker.zip Edited September 16, 2009 by quake101 mLipok 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvanegmond Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 I like the idea of this project. I wanted to use it, but then it requires me to download _XMLDomWrapper.au3 and put it in the correct place. Can you maybe provide a .zip file with all the resources required to run this with a default install of AutoIt? github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake101 Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 Sorry about that. I've added a zip file with all the files required to the first post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quake101 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 I've spent some time updating this script and I've managed to cross some "to do" items off my list. So far, I'm very happy with the results. I plan on working on this a bit more today/tomorrow as well. Check out the first post for updates.

quake101 Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm not sure how I'm going to add hyperlinks to each RRS item yet. Any ideas guys? Also, I've been cleaning up some minor bugs that I found, most likely I'll post an update tomorrow. (Maybe I'll have this project all finished up tomorrow. w00t) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merovingian Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 This works good, though scroll could be smoother and a tad faster. Would also need background colour & text color attributes. maybe a Cache.ini to load up a directory of news items refreshable every 45 mins. Other than that, it looks and works good I'll hafta see if I can add more functionality to this thing on my copy 01000001 01110101 01110100 01101111 01001001 01110100 00100000An immortal object must be copied, so that we get a mortal copy of it, since we try not to destroy immortal objects.
