[Feedreader-development] Custom version?

[Karsten H. <mai...@kh...>]

What about:

http://www.feedreader.com/node.php?id=366


I'm willing to do a custom installset for him, when the new version is 
ready, if no one has any doubts.

Some other persons wanted this kind of thing, too. I have thought about 
two possibilities (or both at the same time).

1) IF there ise importfeeds.xml file in the feedreader directory and no 
feeds.xml file (feedreader is installed and not started yet) then 
feedreader should use this file to import some feeds for user. So all we 
need is customised install package and no customised Feedreader version 
for this thing.

2) Another possibility is to develop a special command line option for 
url, from where feedreader should import feeds first time. This is good 
for portals and stuff. Again this can be customised in install package 
and no source customisation is necesary.

Another thing is with different colors and stuff... About this we should 
think a little bit more...


Greetings
Toomas

I wouldn't do custom versions of FeedReader. Just the possibility to 
import a list of feeds when it is started the first time. However this 
is done.

For the skinning: i don't see much room within the window. Plus i don't 
need it ;).
The only places where you can use a different skin are:
- the menu,
- the toolbar,
- the statusbar.

So the question is:
Do we want/need skinning? Is it worth the effort? Isn't it just bloat?

IT IS BLOAT :) (my thoughts go to winamp 3 ;))

Of course i really do not that it could not be done. Only it has little 
priorities in our team. If somehow we cat team member who has decent 
skinning component and want's to lead the skinning subproject, i'm not 
against but at the moment this is not this way.

And even if feedreader has skinning support, there should be possibility 
to disable it if user does not want it.
