This is a nice looking Opera widget, which shows alternatively 3-15 headlines and checks for new headlines in intervals of 5-60 minutes. If you like to keep an eye on what the people over at The Register write, this is probably the best way to keep up to date.
Very nice looking. The summary feature when you hover over a headline is very slick. However, it is *really* annoying that clicking a story opens it in an entirely new window. I do all my browsing in *one* Opera window, and it would be nice if this widget had an option for new window vs. new tab, or if it would simply respect the settings you have for the browser in general. Really cool widget, but it makes a very bad assumption about how you're going to use it. If that one complaint of mine gets taken care of, this widget will definitely see a lot of use from me.
This is a known issue with TP2, and will get fixed. Currently a widget can only open links in new windows, its on our list and will be fixed for the final version!
Ah, didn't know it was part of the platform and not just the widget. In that case, this widget would seem to be perfect.
