as Brad noted, this isn't the best place. if you'd like to work on 
implementing these things, plasma-devel@kde.org is a good place to discuss it. 
if you're making a request in hopes that someone else will do it, the file a 
feature request on bugs.kde.org.

this would be a nice way to control the font size...

this should probably be linked to #1

perhaps you'd prefer the News applet which doesn't do any scrolling? rssnow's 
author wants it to be fancy (which is why we also provide a simple one, too, 
called "News"). 

there might be a way to link scrolling to newness of entries ... but i'd 
really prefer to not see a configuration option for this (hello, clutter!). 
here it uses 2-5% cpu for ~.5s when it scrolls, so that doesn't seem _too_ 
bad. there may be room for optimizations in there yet. maybe you could take a 
look?
