Tickr is a simple, yet very efficient, RSS Feed reader/ticker that can display news directly on your desktop.
Highly configurable: you can link News with your favourite browser, bookmark your favorite RSS feeds, set scrolling speed, update delay, fonts, font sizes and colors, dimension and location on the screen of the ticker, display the ticker inside a "draggable" window or without one, display or not a clock, and more. News is written in C with GTK+2.0 and Libxml2.

· Replace update_win...
