[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 578115, member: 76888"] [b]Re: InfoService v1.32 - 5 day weather/Feeds/Twitter on basic home [04-01-2010] *PLANN[/b] [B]Have you thought about this as an enhancement option:[/B] Most RRS feeds have a link for each news item taking you to the full story. Instead of displaying the RSS feeds as a ticker, you display each item for 3 seconds as static text (scrolling if the item is longer than the feed width) In the skin the user can navigate to hover over the RSS feed, pressing enter will load the current news items link in your web browser plugin displaying the full story. While hover over the RSS feed the user can press a key (eg the arrow keys) to cycle forward/back between news items. That way if I saw a news item he wanted to read but missed the text he can press the left arrow to go back to that item, then press enter to load it into the web browser window. In the web browser plugin the user can press a button like a home button that takes the user to a selection screen. The selection screen has all the RSS news items and the user can up/down arrow over any of them and press enter to nagivate into that item. If the user has setup multiple RSS feeds, then the first selection item would be to choose a feed, then the 2nd selection item would display the list of all the news items with the option to display the full story by pressing enter.
