Hi,
I'm facing problem with French accents characters' diplaying. Such as éèçàùîö and so on. I'm having A@
Thanks in advance for your help.
Note: Linux Kubuntu 5.10
You can tweak the SKRSSReader to display more than one feed on your desktop. It is very simple:
Copy the folder with the theme, so you have as many copies as you want feeds on your desktop.
In each folder rename the .theme and the .py files to a unique name. Rename them to for instance skssreader.theme and .py, skssreader2.theme and .py, etc.
In the .py file look up the "rssfeed =" and "currentnewsf =" variables. Change the rssfeed to the feed you want to display and also make sure the currentnewsf variable contains a unique filename, like /tmp/.skssreader2.
You can now load each theme, and they will behave independently with their own feeds.
Have fun!

I'd like to substitute the default URL with an XML one, but the theme turns invisible and doesn't work properly. How can I get rid of this? Thanks.

thank you very much for the tip
With some tweaks to ui this has some interesting potential. Good work.
