[QUOTE="scythelt, post: 151726, member: 27879"] While I like the "My News" plugin, I think it could be improved on. I have an improvement suggestion for a plugin that places a news "ticker" along the bottom or top of the MP main screen, that is fed from an RSS feed (or more than one). Think CNN style news ticker, side scrolling across the screen with the headlines from each item in an rss feed; or scrolling an item at a time vertically. IMO this makes up-to-date news or weather more accessible and visible, without having to specifically go into a plugin to view a news item. I'm sure half the work has been done already through the various RSS plugins floating around - I don't have any C# skills unfortunately, so is anybody interested in having a crack at this plugin?
