This is off-topic, but I’ll answer quickly. If someone
wants to go into this in more detail, contact me offlist. Given that we’ve re-done the look-and-feel of the built-in
stylesheet about 3 times since Beta 1 (it’s changed again in the next
beta release), it obvious that people have lots of opinions about what looks
right for them. So, in some future release (not IE7) we will definitely add the ability
for the user to customize the look-and-feel of feeds in IE. As for the API, the documentation for the RSS API is here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/feedsapi/rss/overviews/msfeeds_ovw.asp There’s an sample app here: http://blogs.msdn.com/rssteam/archive/2006/02/28/540319.aspx

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] * Why can't I publish my own stylesheet and use these
Microsoft I would say this is a quite valid question. Is this capability planned and has simply not been
implmented at this stage? I realize the look and feel of the browser
itself will be handled via the standard Windows Themes interface when this, in
fact, is changed by the user. Will this stretegy be the primary strategy
moving forward? Of course, the ultimate question James has posed is most
particular to the web feed itself. It's simple enough to go in and play
with the DOM via the various GreaseMonkey clones for IE, so obviously where
theres a will, the way has already been paved. But this is obviously not
an IE strategy, and instead a vendor hack. Of course, it seems to me that the piece that is missing has
nothing to do with all of this... the piece that is missing is maybe our own realization
that there is an RSS API that, from what I understand (lloks like a new item
will be added to my study list for the week :), allows the ability to develop a
completely different rendering engine all together that ties into the RSS
backbone such that no matter what interface is use, IE-based, XAML-based,
WinForms-based, etc.... each can stay consistent with the same set of data. Thats actually pretty cool when you think about it.
Would be cooler if it had a more snazzy name to the backend system... something
like "AtomicRSS" but then again, theres nothing stopping me or anyone
else from building just such an interface that could act as the Atom-enhanced
version of the of the RSS backbone... I sure do love the idea of extensions, I tell ya ;) :D On 3/9/06, James Yenne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
