GE RSS Reader Widgets

How can I customize the RSS widget externally ?

You can use the super-rss-reader-widget class in your stylesheet to control the widget styling. Other classes are,

1. srr-tab-wrap – the tab’s class.
2. srr-wrap – the wrapper of the widget.
3. srr-item.odd – to control the odd feed items.
4. srr-item.even – to control the even feed items.

Will the additional ticker effect slows the site ?

No, the additional effect needs only 3.4 Kb of additional file. I think that’s not too heavy to slow down the site.

How to create a tabbed mode or multiple feeds ?

Just enter the RSS feed URLs separated by comma in the widget, the plug-in automatically renders the tab.
