Software update: Klipfolio 1.1

jurgenvdpol announced that a new version of KlipFolio has been released. KlipFolio is a program that shows the latest headlines from websites in separate bars, these bars are called “Klips”. You download a clip and then you get an extra clip to see the headlines of that website. You can connect or disconnect the clips, so that you can place them anywhere on your screen. KlipFolio can also give you a different look, because it supports skins.

Release notes:

New Features for Users

• First generation support for Windows XP themes.
• Choice of installed Web browsers with which to open headline links.
• Custom browser commands (through “preferences.xml” manipulation).

New Features for Klip Providers

• A Klip’s default icon can be changed through use of tag in .food.
• More control over items using .food. An item’s “title” or can be updated without forcing a new item to appear to the Klip user. For example, a headline can now specify a number of comments associated with it, and each time the comment count increases, the item is replaced in the Klip.

Support for Western European and South American language Klips.

• Klips can specify an HTTP referer string for KlipFood requests.
