I wrote this 5 years ago... surprised it works at all! Β
To change the sites, open "ScrollNews\@ Resources\Options\Variables.inc" file in a text editor and change "URL#=..." addresses to the feeds you want.
Save and refresh.

Really good and easy to configure. Hope you don't mind but I've added it to my theme. Thanks

Not a problem...
I wrote this quite a while ago, it uses an external plugin, that was replaced by internal scroll capabilities in Rainmeter...
I may come back to this and update it, but it should work as is, with the scroller by RedK

It's not that big a deal; I've got 32 bit & 64 bit but I really notice the difference when video editing
