full screen rss reader

[loverainmeter]

Greetings,
Trying to find a module or modify an existing one that would allow me to see my rss feeds on the whole screen, not just in a small window. Anyone got any ideas on how to accomplish that?

Find one you like and increase the H & W settings in the skin to suit your requirements...

I dont think its that simple. I went through the code and could not find anything that would help with h and w adjustment. May be you can tell me to what are you referring to and how do I get there?

It's not quite as simple as adjusting some arbitrary height and width setting. You need to adjust the height and width of each string meter, change the font size if you wish, then adjust the x and y coordinates accordingly. How easy all of this is depends on which RSS skin you are modding.

Now with this you can just mess with W and H and Y and FontFace and FontSize to get different effects. I am setting "ClickThrough" on the skin since if you don't, a full screen skin like this will give you hassles with desktop icons and such.
