NewsTicker

The fully customizable news ticker for your desktop [freeware]

Description

NewsTicker is a little appbar that behaves similar to the taskbar. It displays scrolling headlines that are hyperlinks to full articles. The internet news sources are freely configurable thanks to a simple parsing system. NewsTicker comes with 13 predefined sources (2 of which are in German). You can choose from the following topics: business, entertainment, health, lifestyle, oddly enough, politics, science, sports, technology and world news + German computer news.
NewsTicker also has a (pre)cache system, which allows you to read news even when you're offline.
Just like the news headlines themselves, the whole interface (window size/edge, colors, font face/size, etc) can be customized in order to adapt NewTicker to your liking.

By the way, if you found another nice news source and have created the corresponding .ini file for the parser, please send that file to me, so that I can include it in the distribution.
