newsbeuter

Unread post by dkeg » Sun Dec 15, 2013 10:00 pm

we don't have one of these yet, so why not. disclosure ... I searched and borrowed most of this.

I decided not to take the defaults and created a config file in ~/.newsbeuter/ (or ~/.config/.newsbeuter/), depending on how you set things up. I took a break off of rss feeds in general, but this weekend decided to set up and pimp my newsbeuter.

Here's my current url list and config file

Latest version (2.8) messed up my colors. So here is how it is now:

Code: Select all

color background       default   default
color listnormal       green     default    bold
color listfocus	       black     yellow     bold
color listfocus_unread black     red	    bold
color info             default   black
color article          default   default
Looks like mutt in a solarized dark term.

Someone made an ArchWiki article on newsbeuter:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Newsbeuter

I don't know if it adds much over the manual, but maybe you find something useful, or want to add a part.
It's funny how we used to be able to do real stuff with rudimentary computers, but now we can't. -- ratcheer
