FeedRoller: lightweight RSS feed ticker for desktop that displays scrolling headlines from favorite news sites and blogs.
FeedRoller is a software that functions as a lightweight RSS feed ticker. It is specifically designed to display scrolling headlines from your preferred blogs and news sites directly on your desktop screen.

FeedRoller can import and export feeds from other readers using OPML and supports both RSS and Atom feed formats. It is also portable, making it easy to use on different devices.
Upon running FeedRoller for the first time, it comes pre-configured with several news feeds, which can be right-clicked on the system tray icon to access common actions. Users can pause the ticker, pin or unpin it, visit the displayed item's page, or manage feeds using shortcut keys such as F12.
To access more options, users can view the Options dialog (F8) and system tray icon, where more shortcut keys and options are readily available. Overall, FeedRoller is a fantastic software for keeping up-to-date with the latest news without disrupting the flow of work on the desktop.
