Feed Notifier is a Windows application that resides in the system tray and displays pop-up notifications on your desktop when new items are discovered in subscribed RSS/Atom feeds.
Feed Notifier is what you get if you want real-time RSS/Atom notifications on your desktop without all the other stuff (clutter) that comes with most RSS readers.
Some new features in v2.0 include:
* Improved look and feel with support for themes.
* "Update Feeds" option to check all feeds on demand.
* Configurable pop-up size.
* Enable/Disable individual feeds without deleting them entirely.
* "Run at Startup" option in the installer.
* Item age displayed in pop-up, e.g. "5 minutes ago"
* Item author displayed in pop-up.
* Navigation controls displayed in pop-up, replacing the awkward pop-up stacking in v1.0.
* "Auto-play" option can be turned off to prevent popups from disappearing automatically.
* Pop-ups can be displayed in the center of the screen.
* System tray icon changes when the app is checking feeds.
* Automatically computes a good polling interval when adding a new feed.
* Shows the favicon for the feed when available.
* Number of items shown in pop-up, e.g. "4 of 12"
* Ability to edit feeds and configure feed titles and links.
* Proxy server support.
* Many more user preferences.
