This is the same as my previous Multi-meter, except that I have added more lines and tabs.

Before there was only 7 lines, now there are 12.
Before there was only 4 tabs, now there are 5.


Includes an "x" button to close skin when not in use.


Thank's Lifehacker for featuring this!

Thank you for this, it's great! I'm making some changes, adding more feeds to the list, I've got it working well with 8 feeds, but I'm stumped at one thing. What dictates which feed the skin initializes on? So far, it's always started up on the "google" feed(or whichever you've replaced it with). I've been all over the code and can't seem to find what causes it to start like that. Otherwise, this is the best RSS feed skin I've been able to find. Once I get as many feeds added as I like, I'd hope to be able to add more than 12 without getting the string related errors, but first things first. Thanks again!

Scratch that last request, if anyone is curious, there's a "Hidden=1" flag set in the code for all but the second feed source. See the last line of this code snippet. The "2Link#" meters don't have that set, this they always start first on initialization.

[1Link1]
Meter=STRING
MeasureName=1MeasureRSS1
X=2
Y=38
H=#height#
W=#Width#
ClipString=1
StringStyle=NORMAL
FontColor=#Color2#
FontSize=#Height2#
FontFace=#Font#
AntiAlias=1
LeftMouseDownAction=[1MeasureLink1]
Hidden=1

To all those trying to use this. If your trying to add your own feeds, try editing RSS.ini. The 5 feeds are in order as they appear on the Meter. Just place your feeds there. As for having their own icons, download the icons of the site through a favicon grabber, place them in the directory where RSS.ini is, and edit RSS.ini to change he favicon. That's all.

so by not answering the other people's questions of how to change the feeds you are acknowledging that you can't do that? or are unwilling to post how to do it?

Love this reader, is there a way to add more tabs.

I am not a coder or anything, but i looked at the .ini file and modified it, the new favicon appears, but when i click it, the feed from that favicon overlays the previous feed, is their an easy way to modify the ini to add more feeds?
