As the previous reviewer stated...great little rss ticker app with one MAJOR flaw. Well, two major flaws, actually. One is the memory leak...and two is, you will notice, the file has not been updated for two years. I tried to contact the software author...no response. Too darned bad. I'd love to have the source and fix the problems because it is a wonderful, small-footprint RSS ticker with just enough features... but looks like the source is no longer supported and it will crash your computer. Strike one plus strike two = Strike Three. Tragic.

Perfect software except that it has a major memory leak. After several hours it uses several hundred MB of memory. In order to not low down the entire system the program has to be restarted every few hours, which is annoying. Because of this flaw I cannot recommend the software. Overall I would rate it only with one star, unfortunately the site doesn't allow that since the interface and the rest have been rated excellent.
