Review in a nutshell:

Likes

  • Portable
  • Nice GUI

Dislikes

  • Cannot change the font
  • Cannot make background transparent
  • Did not work out of the box behind company proxy

This is the best portable desktop news ticker I've found so far, but it's still not perfect.

Dislike the mandatory app logo/text in the ticker
