G19 RSS Reader Files

==============================================================================
Installation
==============================================================================

If you have the .NET framework 4.0 then you can just start the application.
If not then install the .NET framework 4.0 from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851

You might wan't to go to Preferences > Baiscs (first tab) > Startup Delay
and adjust the value there to something appropriate for your system. The
value should match the minimum time needed to fully load and initialize the
G19 keyboard softawre "Logitech Gaming Software". By default it is set to
25 seconds (which is really safe).

Requirements:
- A working and fully operational G19 Logitech keyboard along with the
  "Logitech Gaming Software" (must be running).
- Works on Windows XP SP3, Windows 7 x86 & x64.

About
==============================================================================

It is true that the Logitech G19 software comes with a RSS reader. But that
RSS reader has almost no customization (if any at all).
On top of that, Logitech's RSS reader's settings and RSS feeds are all lost
upon a fresh installation of Windows.

This application is highly customizable and puts everything, including all
of it's settings, in it's own application folder. So as long as you put this
application on another partition than the OS then nothing is lost when
Windows is re-installed or such.

Version 0.90 was created in 4 days.


==============================================================================
How To
==============================================================================

Add background:
- Add a new png, jpg, ,jpeg or gif image to the
 <application path>/Backgrounds/ folder
- Restart the application.

Scroll:
- Press the [Cancel] (the arrow pointing left next to the square stop button)
  to scroll the text up & down.

Features & Limitations
==============================================================================

Features:
- Unlimited RSS feeds.
- Can display channel image/icon.
- Scrolling text
- Backgrounds can be customized both for all channels as well as for each
  individual channel.
- Fonts, text colors (foreground & background), transparent backdrops, etc.
  are all customizable (even for each individual channel if desired).
- RSS feeds can be sorted into groups. Then you can chose wich group to cycle
  or just all of them.
- Each channel can have it's own cycle-speed (how long each feed-item is
  displayed). If it doesn't the default speed is used.
- RSS feeds can be put into groups and then you may chose what groups to
  cycle on the LCD screen.
- LCD menu
- When opening an item, it can optionally be stored until you want to open all
  stored items. This comes in handy when running full-screen DirectX games
  for example and you don't want to lose focus but you don't want to forget
  to open and read the item either.
- Supports channel image/icon (the logo on the top-left of the screen).

Limitations:
- Supports only RSS 2.0
- Does not support HTML inside feeds. The HTML-items will be removed before
  displaying the feed.
