NewsPiper allows you to always be informed about the latest news. This program scans your favorites news sites or RSS newsfeeds, and retrieves headlines and shows them in a special, always-on-top bar at the top of your desktop. For each headline, you can open the full story in your default Web browser simply by clicking the headline.

You can add a new site to scan (a channel) just by indicating the URL, the template for headline recognition, and the code page of the site (for non-English news sites). In addition, NewsPiper checks your connection status by the schedule you set up (once per minute, five times per hour) and changes the color of the icon in the system tray bar accordingly: Green means you're online, red means you're offline.

Version 3.0.0.115 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
