== Frequently Asked Questions == |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
= How can I customize the RSS widget externally ? = |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
You can use the `super-rss-reader-widget` class in your stylesheet to control the widget styling. Other classes are, |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
1. `srr-tab-wrap` - the tab's class. |
| 62 |
1. `srr-wrap` - the wrapper of the widget. |
| 63 |
1. `srr-item.odd` - to control the odd feed items. |
| 64 |
1. `srr-item.even` - to control the even feed items. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
= Will the additional ticker effect slows the site ? = |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
No. the additional effect needs only 3.4 Kb of additional file. I think thats not too heavy to slow down the site. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
= How to create a tabbed mode ? = |
| 71 |
|
| 72 |
Just enter the RSS feed URLs seperated by comma in the widget, the plugin automatically renders the tab. |
