Updated Talking Headlines with new
Horizontal and Vertical Display options via the context menu.
The original 'Boxed' display is still available, but now you have the option to display the news items in columns or rows!

first post updated...
Aside:
Some items may not be compatible with MSSpeak formatting and generate an AutoIt popup error message:

Just dismiss it, the skin is just not able to process the text received for that item.
Enjoy!
