Description
This is an RSS Feed Reader I made using a tutorial on the Rainmeter website. I then heavily modified it to do what I required it to do.You can have 10 feeds on here and the little dots allow you to change the feeds that are displayed.
If you press the RSS icon it shows and hides the feeds to keep a minimal looking desktop.
To change each feed you have to edit the ini file with your favourite text editor (I'd use notepad or notepad++). In the variables section there are 2 sets of variables you have to change:
1. The actual link and;
2. The name of the link (so when you hover over it the name is displayed in the bottom right).
ENJOY! please leave some comments and show me some screen shots of where you use it.
THANKS!

It should launch the link in your default browser. All clicking the link does is launch the URL and your default browser should pick it up.

That's cool. You're lucky with the timely replies because I was online, if I wasn't you'd have had to wait til the next time I was.
Your desktop looks good.

I know what it is. Move my skin out of the Enigma folder and directly into the skins folder (Rainmeter\Skins\RSS Feed\Resources etc) and it will work. The reason it's not working at the moment is because the path names are being screwed up due to the 'RSS Feed' folder not being directly in the 'Skins' folder.
Let me know if that works, and can you post another screen shot of your desktop, it's coming on very well.

So, i downloaded this and installed it. it shows up but even after adding my own feeds and titles - it is still blank. yes the links work correctly, i copied them from my old rss feed. and yes, i do have the font trebuchet ms. here is ss: [link]

From the image you have shown me it looks like you haven't copied the 'Resources' folder that was in the skin folder.
I tested to see if I got the same results as you without the folder and that looks to be the case.
Hopefully that helps.
