Users would probably like to be able to customize the
appearance of FeedOnFeeds-Redux without having to edit CSS.

Attributes to potentially customize:
* colors
* order of feeds (newest at the top or bottom of page)
* display times converted to local time zone (maybe
this should be a separate feature request?)
* others?

    I would like to see the ability to present a "newspaper"
    style layout. Header, right & left columns, single feed item
    spots for things like "weather" (most recent).

    Layout could be pre-designed, and then categories/tags
    assigned to certain locations (I want all Technology in the
    right-side bar, and politics in the left-side bar)

    item #3 should already be supported by the FOF_TIME_OFFSET
    constant in config.php.

    True, a user can edit FOF_TIME_OFFSET. What about being able
    to set that via a SELECT box in a config panel?

    It wouldn't be a bad idea to have the ability to store
    global config options in the db. Then, config.php could be
    pared down to just the db connection info and table names.

    This same sort of presentation layer problem exists with
    blogging software. As a longtime user of wordpress (and
    fof), I'd suggest some sort of theme mechanism. Themes are
    essentially .css files that can be uploaded into a themes
    directory. Then there is an admin interface that allows one
    to choose the theme. From an end-user perspective, this is a
    great treatment of the 'customizable experience' problem.

    Perhaps a community of theme authors will arise like it has
    for Wordpress.

    Cheers,
    Gary

    Maybe a themable view/list so it's more flexible to allow
    users to change the layout. ie I do not want to see the
    search box in the view, and the format of each item I'd like
    to chnage.....

    BTW, you guys are doing a great job here!
