Great concept, some changes needed.

I like this program, there are some modifications I would make, however, and I write them in order of priority.

1. Slow down the scroll, even on the "slow" mode its awful fast. If the ticker were wider, itd be okay. But the ticker is narrow to begin with.
2. Allow users to customize the font, window color, etc.
3. Perhaps allow the ticker to be expanded more, both horizontally and vertically.
4. Keep finding news sources.

Decent app, worth the $0.99.. hope to see some good updates in the future.
