I love it, you did a really good job.
But there is only one small problem, the applet is always on top. So it is not really usable. I hope you will add an option : "always on top".
The always on top is intentional - i like to see the news while I work. to change it, just modify the .theme file, and change "ontop=true" to "ontop=false".
