The GKrellM Newsticker is a plugin specifically designed for GKrellM that offers reliable and up-to-date newsticker functionality, allowing users to keep up with the latest news and events.
GKrellM Newsticker is an impressive newsticker plugin that works seamlessly with the GTK+ system monitor, GKrellM. One of its most remarkable features is that it supports the widely-used RDF format, allowing you to scroll through headlines retrieved from news sites like Slashdot and others, each in its own panel.
This plugin comes with RDF entries for Slashdot, KDE Dot News and Gnotices. However, if you want to integrate custom RDF files, you can do so easily using the configuration dialog. Moreover, the plugin is incredibly customizable, allowing you to set the speed at which the headlines are scrolled, and how many headlines should be displayed for each site, among other things.
If you want to read a particular article, all you need to do is click on the panel, which will bring up your favorite browser with the site belonging to that panel/headline. Additionally, you can easily share RDF URLs by exporting and importing your list.
The latest update of GKrellM Newsticker has fixed the parser to work with more RDF files and resolved a small bug in the proxy code. Users can now set the number of headlines that are scrolled, import and export a list of RDF sources, and enjoy code cleanup. Other additions include a timeout of 10 seconds for downloading and a THEMES file.
Overall, GKrellM Newsticker is an exceptional newsticker plugin that is worth considering if you're looking for a reliable and customizable system monitor for your Linux machine.
