Updated with threading for updates and icon changing to let you know its updating or loading.

Would it be possible to add feeds to this with Epiphany's RSS extension? That would be really cool.

Good idea. I will do that after the core stuff.

nice work, i just started writing on a Google Reader applet which is used for rss feeds but this is really great!

i would really love a google reader applet, as i am addicted to google reader.

Well i'm testing it all using this website: http://blog.gpowered.net/2007/08/google-reader-api-functions.html
And I can already tell you now that it's gonna be a hard job to get it working cause there's no official google API for it.

Use the colored icon in the dock and when it's reloading/refreshing use the grey. I did try that and it look good.

Also I did try to make it use other icon for the new/unread, but.. it will not accepted it, trying to replace the gtk-new to use a new icon called rss-new and it's placed in the stock folder. but nothing

No icon can be replaced in the gkt_stock section.

 

    def get_menu(self, widget, event):
        # Updating info entries
        self.unread = other_rss.get_new_count(self.database, False)
        self.count = other_rss.get_new_count(self.database, None)
        # Building the info entries
        menu_root = gtk.Menu()
        menu_unread = gtk.ImageMenuItem(('New: ' + str(self.count)))
        unread_image = gtk.Image()
        unread_image.set_from_stock("gtk-about", 1)
        menu_unread.set_image(unread_image)
        menu_root.append(menu_unread)
        menu_unread = gtk.ImageMenuItem(('Unread: ' + str(self.unread)))
        unread_image = gtk.Image()
        unread_image.set_from_stock("gtk-new", 1)
        menu_unread.set_image(unread_image)
        menu_root.append(menu_unread)

I wouldnt use the stock icon call for that. It is a gtk.Image it can use pixbuffs.

It implements the new icon pack

Brilliant. looking good.

This is the broken feed. It does work in Fx and also google reader.

Also why not add the icon in the notification?
simplenotify.py
def send(app_name = "None" , replaces_id = 0, icon = "the_feed-icon",

How about this?

rss_awn.py

 

self.resultToolTip = str(self.count) + " New Feeds"
 

++ Line: 109
-- Line: 71

And the option to have the popup or not

yopnono said:
More stuff please add an option to adjust the feed reload settings.
Like now the default is 3600sec = 1h

I am waiting for OPML support to add the config window

tehkain said:
Version 0.1.5:
* Opml feed list importing support
* fixes yopnono issue with feeds that are undated

Yep, now metro and skynews works.
Thanks.

Suzuran said:
It would also be cool if the mouseover title could show the number of new and unread entries instead of the applet name.

Thats being released with 1.6.

Suzuran said:
About my earlier request, though. When using Epiphany with the "News Feed Subscription" extension, your applet doesn't show up in the options for subscription (the only one that does is "Live Bookmarks," which I assume will add it to Firefox). I'm a bit lacking in knowledge about the technology involved, though, so I can't tell you how to make Epiphany recognize your applet.

yopnono said:
Question: It's not possible to integrate it so Firefox can add the feeds directly to the feedlist?

Firefox and epiphany support will be added when I get done with a few more bugs.
