Wow. I wasn't expecting this to be any more than another of the "ramblings of GROG" that pop up on these forums from time to time

Thanks for pointing that out. I hadn't followed the overclocking threads that closely.

Grog, are you also using some of debernardis' "optimizations" scripts ?

Not as far as I know, IOW I don't think so. My setting is simple IMHO, all I have installed are the power kernel & modules themselves, my default is set to 850 & I use the Queen Beecon Overclock Control to switch frequencies when I want.

That's very strange. But i know that GRead can use a lot of memory. When the real offline mode will be there it should be lot better.

It's probably one more of those undebuggable things :-)

Anyway, I just tried out the latest version without any problems.

I like the new fixed title option a lot : "fred mode" is almost there :-)

If I recall correctly, you've implemented all of the usability stuff that's been mentioned in this thread (and then some), except for two things :

- default font size in settings (really needed !)

- (option to) show the feed name in item view

And maybe that recent idea to use keyboard in/out for portrait/landscape, might be fun...

I checked out the new version of Grr-NG that came out a couple of days ago : it's very good-looking, with a lot of well-done eye candy, but for usability it's waaaayy behind...

I would humbly remind of sorting by date oldest first. That's about the only modification I do. The other being increasing the maximum number of items to fetch.

thanks,
Frank

Thanks for pointing that out fpp. I was tempted to try it myself, but now I won't bother

+1 for that.

Well that's only my partial opinion, so you may want to check it out yourself :-)

i'll add your wanted settings soon. For the sort by date oldest first, it's more difficult but i'll check that.

For GrrNG, i tested it, of course. I'm not fan of the interface, and too much things are missing : labels, offline mode (or "almost offline" as in GRead). And often i have to click twice on things to make something happen... But it's a great work on the Grr application... but it seems GrrNG is not open source any more (could not find the source code of the last version) If the author wants to (i don't say he wants, but "IF"), he can keep your login/password... say Google login/password, with all related services, like gmail !). If GrrNG was the only google reader application i wouldn't use it because of this !

About the informations banner :

you can now click on it to make it disappear
you can press "i" to show/hide it (if you press when it is sliding, it is shown normal height). When this way is used to display the banner, it is not automatically hidden (just press "i" again if you want)
now use QAnimation to hide the banner, and not a QTimer with complicated calculations... i just discovered it !

And now, more settings :

set number of unread items (default 100) to fetch for each label (or for each special feed or feed without label)
for content item's view :
- checkbox to display the feed's title instead of the item's one
- ability to set a user agent (use the default one if empty)
- zoom by default (in %, 100% is the default)
- and the last is not a settings : force the background to be white by default (it may cause troubles, tell me !)
