Feed Notifier Portable is a Windows application that resides in the system tray and displays pop-up notifications on your desktop when new items arrive in your subscribed RSS or Atom feeds.
Feed Notifier Portable is for you if you want a news aggregator that focuses on real-time feed notifications and leaves out all the other stuff that comes with most news readers.
Feed Notifier Portable can keep you informed on the go, so take it for a test drive to see what it's all about!

What's New in This Release:
· Wait if hovering: Don’t advance to the next pop-up if you’re hovering over it with your mouse.
· Stay on top: Now you can choose to not have pop-ups stay on top, if you wish.
· Border size: You can configure the size of the pop-up border.
· Border color: You can configure the color of the pop-up border – and this can be done on a per-feed basis to help distinguish between items from different feeds!
· Right-click links to copy the link URL.
· Allow fallback on Windows-configured proxy.
· Improved cache mechanism.
· Proxy info is encoded on disk and displayed like a password in the user interface.
· Checks for software updates every 24 hours, not just on app startup.
