[options (-name[=value])...] [resource (file name or URL)]
Tickr is a GTK-based RSS/Atom Reader that displays feeds as a smooth scrolling line on your Desktop, as known from TV stations. Open feed links in your favourite Browser. Graphics are highly customizable.
Mouse usage:
- To open the main menu, right-click inside ticker area.
- You can import feed subscriptions from another feed reader with
´File > Import Feed List (OPML)'.
- To open a link in your browser, left-click on text.
- Use mouse wheel to either adjust ticker scrolling speed or open the ´Selected Feed Picker' window to quickly move between selected feeds (and use Ctrl + mouse wheel for the other option.)
The default browser is Firefox. You may change this setting to your favourite one in the Preferences window.
Tickr parses command line arguments and looks for option(s) then for one resource, the rest of the line is ignored. It reads too configuration file ´tickr-conf' located in /home/<user_name>/.tickr/ if it exists (or ´tickr-conf<n>' if an instance id has been set to n.) See FILES.
Command line options override configuration file ones which override default ones.
~/.tickr/tickr-conf
~/.tickr/tickr-conf<n>
~/.tickr/tickr-url-list
~/.tickr/tickr-url-list<n>
