# RSS

"RSS" display news items from internet feeds.

To open the "RSS" preferences, follow these steps:

1. Open Universal Ticker.
2. Choose "Universal Ticker" > "Preferences".
3. In the "Sources" category choose "RSS".

RSS uses the same system framework for feeds as do Safari and Mail. This means that news items marked as read in one application will also be considered read by all other applications that use the system framework.

# Channels

Add channels by dragging a feed link into the list or click the plus icon to enter an address manually.

Use "Edit…" to edit the feed address or change the query intervall for a single feed.

# Query

When choosing a query intervall remember that some feeds may block you if you query them too often.

You may also adjust the time after which a news items is considered old and should not be displayed again in the ticker, even if unread.

# Display

For every headline you can optionally prepend the feed name or icon.

To use a font and text color different from those set in the general preferences, choose them here and uncheck "Use Default Font and Color".

# Contextual Menus

Click a headline in the ticker to have the corresponding article open in your default browser.

Hold down the control key (or use the secondary mouse button) while clicking for a list of all news items for the corresponding feed.
