Usage is pretty intuitive: mouse over, click and right-click->Properties for configuration.

Feed Reader Plus (and most screenlets in general) look and behave much better 
under a compositing window manager.  Gnome's default window manager, Metacity, 
does support compositing, but it is disabled by default.  See the following link
on how to enable it:

I was going to add some simple filtering capabilities of feeds, but I came 
across this web based filter which does much more than I was planning:

v1.0
-----

I've taken the initial v0.1 FeedReader screenlet, polished it up and added some
features.  Summary of the changes:

- Don't let item titles overrun bounds
- Pull FeedReader window title from feed and allow option to specify custom 
  title in options menu.
- Highlighting of new feed items until clicked, moused over or next update
- Ability to show publish times (off / full date string / relative to now)
- Allow control of tooltip display (off / full title / description)
- Configurable action on item click (nothing / item link / feed link)
- Configurable delay for displaying tooltips and mouse over status change
- Configurable number of rows used to display item titles
- Add "Mark all as read", "Mark as read" and "Mark as new" options to
  right-click menu.
- Non-destructive error handling when feed unable to be retrieved
- Fix changing scale by wheelmouse scrolling
- Proper collapsing of feed window when clicking top bar
- Disabled themes as they were conflicting with ability to customize style
- Adjust width of screenlet through config menu
- Use of ETags and Last-Modified headers to allow server side update checking
- Remove effect of not highlighting an item when you come back to it after
  going off screen.
- Bunch of smaller bug fixes

Known issues, that require either more investigation or a screenlets fix:
- Feed item descriptions shown in tooltips will fail to display (blank tooltip) 
  if they contain HTML markup (quite common).
- Resizing FeedReader window width by dragging is blocked by broken on_mouse_up
  event firing.
- If you make background colors too transparent (~ opacity < 50%) event handling
  may get all screwed up (highlighting flickers, can't get proper right click 
  menu, etc..).
