Public bug reported: I have RSSNOW in my panel and have told it to look at slashdot. It is apparently fetching headlines from /. but the icon and the text RSSNOW is over the top, obscuring the headlines.
Possible fixes: 1. Use icon+text when there is nothing else to display, otherwise display the rss headline(s) 2. Provide an interface more like the notification or network manager widgets - keep the icon but add status to indicate new headlines, with popups providing further info $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu karmic (development branch) Release: 9.10 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- the icon and RSSNOW text obscure headlines https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394296 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
