Yeh, source will be available shortly - I need to spend some time 
tidying it up a bit.

Would a few kind soles try it out and see
if it works for them?

If you have the JRE installed and could just give some feedback on
wether it launched correctly and displayed the RSS feeds that would be
excellent.

Doesn't work I'm afraid:

It works ok on my wintel xp in foxpro. One thing is that it seems to take a
full headline rotation cycle to launch the link when you click it. I think
you need to do some work on the perceptual design.

Re: [backstage] RSS App test

I got the JAR to work okay but had the same problem already reported
with the EXE. Also clicking the link failed to launch a browser.

That aside, it looks pretty neat and did a good job displaying the
headlines. Perhaps the browser command could be specified in the XML?
Also how about losing the window frame?

Theres some good tips at:

Good stuff - I could do with a ticker app :-)
