RSSalizer Visualize your favorite RSS feeds
One of my projects is an alternative to Mac OS X built-in RSS Visualizer also based on Quartz Composer 4.0 intented to use as screen saver. This one is an combination of Javascript and screensaver protocal conformance in QC. I extended the default functionalities and added some new features.
Highlights
- define more than one RSS feed
- shows the corresponding article image
- customize the style of the snippet containg the articles
- display duration based on your reading speed

Usage
As you know it from the original one just hit the enter key to open up Safari with the whole article. Furthermore there is preference pane to customize the RSSalizer.

The parameters are defined as follows:
- Words per minute specifies your average reading speed. You need to adjust this since the display duration is based on the word count and your reading speed.
- Feed #1-#5 specifies which RSS feeds to download but you can define even more feeds by seperating the address field by semicolons.
- Article Fore-/BackColor is for the appearance of an article.
- BG-Image Location sets the background image supported protocols: http, file, ftp.
