I added Osnews.com to it, but that was after it started crashing for me. In
my experience it will crash with the default source only.

To reproduce it I think all you'd have to do is add it to your desktop, then
leave the room for a few hours. By the time you come back it might have
crashed.

The look of the news ticker I'm referring to is in this screenshot:

I like that style alot better but I can't figure out how to make the news
ticker look like that. :(

Additional Comments From raabe kde org &nbsp;2008-01-22 15:33 -------<br>For changing \
the scrolling mode, go to the preferences dialog (right-click onto the news ticker) \
and change the value of the &#39;Scrolling mode&#39; combo box. There&#39;s a bug in \
there though which causes the GUI not to be updated correctly sometimes, so try \
changing the combo box value back and forth to make sure that you have the right mode \
selected. <br><br>Regarding the crash: you can run the news ticker (or any other \
plasmoid for that matter) in its own window (and its own process) using the \
&#39;plasmoidviewer&#39; program. Try running &#39;plasmoidviewer clock&#39; or \
&#39;plasmoidviewer knewsticker&#39; to run the clock (or the news ticker) in its own \
window. That way you can avoid that your whole desktop crashes just because a single \
plasmoid has a problem. <br><br>Do you have any additional news sources configured \
for your news ticker, or just the default KDE news? I&#39;ll see whether I can \
reproduce this problem this evening.<br></blockquote></div><br>
