Well, in my computer it only works when I load the karamba as a root, but I normaly use my computer as a normal user... How can I get the complete title without having to load the karamba as root?
Thank you very much for the answer...

delaytime_seconds = 180
For a two hour cycle you will need to change it to:
delaytime_seconds = 1440
That equals to each of the 5 feeds updating every 24 minutes, so 120 minutes for a full cycle.

I find one problem with using it. It does not encode characters from the feed I would like to use properly.
Could you point me to a place or maybe you may provide me an aswer where I may find information how to change the encoding or use another fonts.
Thanks!

def createText(widget):
global text, imgtip, stamp
text = []
imgtip = []
for i in range (max_items):
text.append(karamba.createText(widget, 15, item_top + (i * item_height), 195, item_height, ""))
karamba.changeTextColor(widget, text[i], 255,255,255)
karamba.changeTextFont(widget, text[i], "Omicron Zeta")
karamba.changeTextSize(widget, text[i], 10)
stamp = karamba.createText(widget, 15, 158, 180, 24, "")
karamba.changeTextSize(widget, stamp, 9)
karamba.changeTextFont(widget, stamp, "Omicron Zeta")
karamba.changeTextColor(widget, stamp, 255,140,50)
You then need to change the two instances of "Omicron Zeta" to your chosen font, e.g "Trebuchet MS". Sorry I can be of no more help.

Would be very grateful.
